This issue of the cost of industrial development in the price of goods is
part of the serious macro problem revealed by the A plus B theorem.
The discount doesnt address the 'writing down' and 'writing up' issues,
although it is effectively a 'transfer back into purchasing power'. The
credits to industry does. ( I would like to see what the other three
options were)
The objective in the first instance per Warning Democracy was to get control
of industry free from banking industry policy, secondly to make distribution
of goods all inclusive/higher standard of living, and that would result in
more profitable businesses ie those who conformed to the new consumer power.
Consumer demand and profit demand are both running the same gauntlet side by
side.
Douglas wasnt making this up in front of the Legislators either as he went
along.
