rebooting economy (mini howto)

by "J.H.Boersema" <joshb@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Mar 5, 2008 at 08:04 AM

When things start to get screwed up and/or imbalanced beyond repair:
run a reboot process. Proposed checklist:

                         money
1. Print a new paper currency that won't be forged in the short term,
   stamp it with a short term expiration date (say a year).
2. Void all previous money, all becomes worthless instantly.
3. Distribute the same sum of new currency to all persons, say
   1000 units.
4. Declare a fixed sum will be taken in taxes from each person
   each month.
5. Start working on a high quality currency and coins. When its
   ready start swapping old bills for new bills.

   Remarks: If its not possible to carry the old coins because
   some people have made stashes of them (which they might if
   they expect the coins to retain value during an economic
   reboot), then the economy will have to use a less fine grained
   money for some time. This can be combatted a little by allowing
   traders to refuse trading below a certain value where the money
   gets too rough. Small denomination bills will reduce this problem.

                        private wealth
1. Ask foreign nations to confiscate the wealth of all residents 
   of the local nation, if they like they can make the previous
   owner a first chance at buying the valuable again at its present
   market value.
2. Make an *****sment of all homes and other high value products,
   offer the current owner a first chance at buying it at present
   market value.

                        companies
1. Each company not run by its original entrepreneur and larger then
   having 10 full time natural employees, will be presented with a
   choice of various democratic set ups from which it can choose:

2. Businesses that reached a size from below 10 workers to above 10
   under a non-starter owner are not democratized (unless employee
   levels were adjusted artificially with these rules in mind.)

                         banks
1. Retail banking (checking accounts) will be nationalized.
2. Investment banking and all other financial institutions will either
   be removed or nationalized.
3. People who did clergy and sup****ting tasks keep their jobs, but
   financial decision makers (the gamblers) will get a job prohibition
   for the finance sector, unless it can clearly be proven their work
   was for the better to the level of it being a charitable cause.
4. New Govt controlled non-gambling investment mechanisms are to be set
   up if they do not yet exist.
5. Fostering the existence and emergence of private but non-gambling
   and socially directed investment groups with a high moral standard.

                        land
1. When its time to sow before its settled who owns what the farmers
   should go ahead and sow their usual lands with their usual crops.
2. The total of the economically valuable natural resource is computed,
   per category, excluding mines, excluding nature reserves, excluding
   public roads, excluding villages and cities.
3. An estimation is made about equal economic value between the different
   categories.
4. The amount of economic resource is divided by the number of the 
   population + 10%.
5. Each person that currently uses natural resources is told it can
   take owner****p to a value computed for one person. For the rest
   he can negotiate with someone else but he is allowed to determine
   who gets to own the land he uses. The owner and user can determine
   a rent price for the land. Time limit to get this done can be adjusted
   and modified by starting with a Govt rent per used resource that rises
   every month, motivating users to find a cheaper rent.
6. When the time limit for user seeks owner is over the remainder of
   the people not having been taken up on their resource right are
   allowed to take whatever resource is still available. If there is
   a present user and a disagreement over a proposed rent contract,
   the user is given an additional short time period to find another
   owner.

                          land below houses
1. Land below houses can be designated as land below houses, which
   the present person living there can claim and get up to the
   limits of the natural resource share for one person.
2. Buildings on land below houses do not have to be owned by people
   owning the land upon which it stands, owning housing land does not
   imply the right to clear a building that is not owned.

                          government
1. The Government protocols for power must be set so that the Government
   will do the will of the people all the time.
2. The law will be changed to also codify at least the following
principles:
   x the larger businesses not under starter control become democracies
   x natural resources are distributed equally
   x money investment for profit must be produce useful real results, not
     be a free market for speculative for profit money trading.
