»Those who make peaceful revolution impossible
will
make violent revolution inevitable.«
– John F. Kennedy
35th President of the USA
That things cannot go on as hitherto is
becoming clear to an increasing number of people worldwide. The number of
protest movements is increasing. Creative masterminds are working on solutions
and many solutions already exist. In the economic sector as well there are
already valuable approaches to solving the problem. LETS groups, regional
currencies and movements for a basic income are approaches for creating
sustainable alternatives from the basis.
About 15 years ago we discovered the natural
fundaments of our new monetary and economic model. In connection with the
»Joytopia« international research project and »Gradido« we continually went on
developing the Natural Economy of Life. The present book reflects the current
state of development. For some experts it is the most developed monetary and
economic system in existence.
Its introduction would be accomplished fastest
if the majority of the world population decided to end the old system and
introduce the gradido on a fixed day. That is plan A, the scenario of the
Joytopia story. As we do not know if this will happen, there are also plans B
and C as alternative ways in which the Natural Economy of Life can already
begin in the existing system and be further developed.
The common feature of all three plans is that
the gradido is made known worldwide and people are familiarised with it. This
can happen on several levels, such as internet websites, social networks,
videos and in written form. The present book provides the basic understanding
as to how the Natural Economy of Life works and can help transform our world back into a paradise again.
Plan B is the step-by-step introduction of
gradido as an official complementary currency in single countries. For this we
have elaborated a plan in phases, with which a country can immediately start
once its population have decided on the gradido.
Plan C makes the gradido available as a
community currency in social networks, organisations, initiatives, communes and
communities of any kind. Here the gradido initially acts as a means of granting
a discount. Participants in the gradido network give each other gradido
discounts to any amount of their choice. The single communities can either
install their own gradido servers or register their members on an existing
portal, e.g. http://gradido.net. The gradido software is open source. If you
are a programmer and would like to help develop it further, please contact us.
The three plans run parallel. We will know which
of the three has been successful when we get there.
