Probably you don't know the context of my request.
I was asked by W.B Ryan to post my private letter to him to
socialcredit group because he had been intended to answer to it to a
broader audience. Ok. I signed to this group and sent my question for the second
time. And got no satisfactory answer.
Now, if I ask somebody about their opinion it doesn't
mean I ask for the list of their lectures. Understanding is simple and may
be expressed in a few words, if exists, hence usefullness of discussion groups
where such exchanges are possible. If this is not true in this group, than sorry
for disturbing you.

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.
