My little thought on economics
What needs to happen
is prices in
all current economic
situations must
decrease at a certain
percentage
all at the same time
several times
until the price of any
thing is
very minimal and everyday
necessities
are virtually free.
If something is
virtually free, the
financially
stable will find it
easier to help
those around them.
If there was
someone you knew or
came across that was in need of something,
wouldn’t you help them
if it cost you virtually nothing? Although
the rich would still
be rich, they’re money is worth the same
everywhere. This
is probably bad economics, but it ties in with
how a long time ago,
people worked hard for the good of their
village rather than
induvidual gain. Of course if one works hard,
they will benefit, but
by spreading out the profit, people will be
less greedy and more
helpful to others as it will also benefit them
and others around them.
This no longer happens
in communities in the western world, but
may do in other places.
Examples of people working together in
this society are family
businesses where there is little or no pay
for individuals, other
than keeping the business alive so that all
can eat, have shelter
etc. This situation can be used as a model
for our own communities.
People are allocated jobs according to
what they are good at
and everyone benefits as a result. Work
is encouraged, and because
everyone has common goals, the
work will be done in
the most efficient way possible. Most of us
have been part of something
where we can see a easier way to
do something but haven’t
bothered to put it into action because
we aren’t passionate
about the cause. In this family or village
situation, people will
work for the good of the community to try
and better the life
and to survive.
Another idea that I’ve
read about is that as well as this situation,
people learn from each
other and gain insights from each other
and as payment, one
might give them another insight or
message or do a job
for them. People would become more
aware of themselves
and others and since there is really no need
for money, greed would
only take form of knowledge or power.
People would be respected
because they deserved to be rather
than their financial
status [everyone is the same].
I don’t know if I have
explained it very well, it’s mostly there.
Like any idea of economy,
there are holes in it. But it’s a nice
idea – back to the primitive…
