Is it not the case that the Retail Discount would inevitably vary from
time to time ?
It is not a static calculation.
Making necessary constant monitoring of the level of production and
consumption. An expansion of our "index numbers" system.

The money system is the incentive system.
Michael(Keith again)I do understand the principle, but I am not yet
satisfied that the question has been explored adequately for circumstances
existing 70 years after the rationale was laid down.The question occurred
to me as I completed reading, in tandem, what are said to be the two
founding documents of the Social Credit movements in Quebec and
Alberta--both of them written in the States. (From Debt to Prosperity by
Crate Larkin, and Economic Nationalism by Maurice Colbourne.) Both of them
I found to be lucid, complete and persuasive; it is no surprise that
reasonably literate and awake people would find them compelling.
Nevertheless, a feature in those expositions (especially Larkin, as I
recall) is a very large estimate of the retail discount that was in those
days justified by the apparently enormous surfeit of production over
consumption (distribution in Michael’s terms above). I believe Larkin
suggested trying 25% as a first pass, to be adjusted as passage of time and
experience (data) warranted.My question does therefore bear on physical
distribution to the extent that major increments to "productivity" have
occurred in that domain over the past half century and might therefore
mitigate the warranted amount of money distribution via the retail
discount.Keith
