(John Rawson wrote:-) A very extreme exemplification of the "gap",
presumably based on deep slump conditions and certainly not applicable to
today.
This is one of the Douglas concepts which, taken out of context, lead SCers
to promise the moon without foundation.
--------------------------------------------------------(Joe
replies:-) It is merely an example of what might have been
entirely possible in the early 1920's, shortly after the close of World War
I. When there had already been built up an enormous 'productive
capacity' in Britain as a result of the war. With much of it entirely
capable of being used for, or readily converted to, production for civilian
consumption.
After the onset of the draconian financial
policies of the later 1920's there, which began the decimation of that
British 'productive capacity', further accelerated greatly by the
worldwide 'Depression' of the early 1930's, Douglas used a figure that more
closely represented the then diminished ability of his country to
produce.
Whatever the figure might be today, it is
absolutely certain that what Douglas noted then is still relevant now.
In my view, it is not in any way 'promising the moon' to call for a proper
'price' system that reflects reality, and truly does allow CONSUMERS to
gain full advantage 'financially' of what is already 'physically'
possible.
Why is there such a detectable 'fear' of doing
that amongst those who see the 'political party' path as the only way towards
'Social Credit'? The 'Compensated Price', again in my view, could be the
most easily 'saleable' policy any so-called 'Social Credit' Party could ever
offer. Do the PR right, and the breakthrough you guys dream about is
there for the taking.
