»Banks are
more dangerous than standing armies.«
– Thomas Jefferson
3rd President of the USA
We have already several times pointed out the
devastating disadvantages that result from creating money through borrowing or
debt. Alone the fact that debt is absolutely necessary to create money is
already sick: humankind is split into creditors and debtors, often even before
birth.
Nowhere in nature is there such a cynical
system so contemptuous of life. On the contrary, debts are unknown to nature
which practises a gift economy. When you consider that almost all our economic
problems today are due to creating money through borrowing or debt, a monetary
model that manages without creating money through borrowing is an imperative
requirement for the survival of humankind. For nature knows very well how to
deal with behaviour hostile to life: a species that continually behaves in a
way hostile to life becomes extinct.
Elimination of disadvantages is frequently
already a big advantage, as it is here, too. By doing away with incentives
hostile to life we give behaviour friendly to life the necessary air to breathe.
Healing can take place when we do not split humanity into two camps in a
schizophrenic manner. Humans can act together again and direct their attention
towards joint survival.
A species hostile to life then becomes one
friendly to life that cooperates with nature. As such we will get the right and
the chance to thrive in a sustainable manner. The new incentives friendly to
life motivate us to consider the threefold good in all our decisions –
the good of the individual, the good of the community and the good of the big
scheme of things.
