Kristof's explanation of his question suggests to me that he would find a couple
of new books very helpful:
Naomi Klein, "The Shock Doctrine" (Knopf
Canada)
Gregory Clark, "A Farewell to Alms" (Princeton U. Press)
Both have been
reviewed in significant journals, notably the New York Times.

The undrerstanding of what C. H. Douglas
wrote or said is not of my
particular concern. More what today reformists do
with his inspirations and
inuitions.
I agree with Douglas's general idea of the
deficit of purchasing power in
the growing areas of the globe. I calculated that
deficit on real numbers
taken from Polish corporation where I served as CEO and
for sure Douglas was
right showing us this problem comparable to the
unefficiency of heart-pump
in human body. Purchasing power leaks out of
producing communities and
producers are forced to extend specialization and
import-export practicies.
If they don't, they alternatively hang on growing
debt.
Now we have world-blood deficit in many places and plentitude of it in
others - a zero balance situation from the double accounting point of view,
but close to heart breake from the social one. I personally attribute that
deficit of purchasing power to logistic (energetic) and educational
(informatic,
including money as information) problems of our civilization.
In my opinion
local money could serve better than "retail discount programs"
proposed by
Douglas - as local by-passes on global defficiency in money
distribution.
National dividend is ok but it strongly affects the way
national budget is
created, so it is not easy to implement from
grassroots.
But, William, I asked you about your personal opinion on Douglas
proposals
in present socio-legal environment and you answered by a joke...
Please
answer seriously.
