Advantage 89 – The threefold good

Excerpt from the book »Gradido – Natural Economy of Life« 

»Only great cooperation is fruitful,

 when one person shares in it through another.«

– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

French writer

Every decision, every action, every product and every service must, if possible, serve the threefold good – the good of the individual, the good of the community and the good of the big scheme of things (all beings, the environment and nature). The threefold good is, to a certain extent, the paramount decision criterion of the Natural Economy of Life. In everything we do we ask ourselves:

1. Does it serve the good of every single person?
2. Does it serve the good of the community?
3. Does it serve the good of the big scheme of things?

Only when all three questions can be answered with a clear »yes« have we passed the test. If one of the criteria is not met, we should rethink something.

The threefold good is also the basis for the threefold creation of money: the active basic income primarily serves the good of the individual, the national income serves the good of the community and the Equalisation and Environment Fund serves the good of the big scheme of things. The most important criterion has thus been met for the creation of money.
