Economics
What dries an economy?
All economics is dependent upon the people, their minds their hearts, their even the virtues and vices of the people.
Why do people produce?
Why are they willing to work, go the extra mile?
What drives the people drives the economy!
What is the best way to encourage the people produce?
Do people just work to live?
Fear of punishment or deprivation and starvation is a great motivator but there are many side effects to society and the economy.
Do they work harder for wealth and power or wantonness and pleasure?
The truly great motivator in society is not self interest but unselfish interest for the well being of others and that usually begins with family and salts the very flavor of society. It not only on of the strongest motivators but because it has a generational designed built in to the family model it brings and ebb and flow to an economy which is essential to steady growth.
What some call human capital is merely what people bring to the workplace. Their skills, knowledge and ideas can stimulate innovation, productivity through improved efficiency and which will provide economic growth. But all men are not equal. All men are not born in the family, raised in families and all families are not equal in virtues of love, dedication, sacrifice or honor.
Anything that undermines the family undermines the future economy. Anything that strengthens the bonds of family and community strengthens the economy.
Birth rates in good families often drops in socialist societies that depend on the State for old age benefits rather than the family. Often welfare single parent families have more children than married couples with a disastrous effects on the upbringing of the next generation.
When families are dependent on their own resources rather than entitlements a frugality and economy is ingrained in family values. You soon learn that increased productivity means more efficient use of resources – labor, material and equipment. When you must rely on your own limited resources there is a drive for efficiency that spreads through society.
Social welfare begins in the family and reaches out into the community. Often social welfare by the State rather than by charity and charitable institutions undermines natural virtues cultivated in a moral society where virtue is prized as a noble character. Socialist institutions lifts natural burdens from the family but often makes the family weaker as an institution if not superfluous.
Jesus was not a socialist nor a communist. In fact he forbid Christians to be like or pray to the benefactors and fathers of the earth who exercised authority over the people.
Besides just weights and measures in our purse there needed to but justice in our hearts and minds.
If according to the Ten Commandments we are not to make Contracts, Covenants, and Constitutions then how does society become a cohesive unite?

How about the golden calf?
Was that just a silly superstition like we see in the movies or was the Golden_calf a system of central banking used in many city states to provide a "reserve fund" and bind the dependence of the people to the State?

Even the sacrifice of the red heifer had nothing to do with burning up red cows.

So if all this is true what were they talking about and what we call "Jewish law" really saying?
Were Moses and Jesus really in agreement and all the Jews and Christians just under a strong delusion and actually believe a lie?

Banking
Achievable Possibilities
The Public Bank Solution by Ellen Brown [1] A book on public banking strongly advocated by the author.
Description: WHAT WALL STREET DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW. Shock waves from one Wall Street scandal after another have completely disillusioned us about our banking system; yet we cannot do without banks. Nearly all money today is simply bank credit. Economies run on it, and it is created when banks make loans. The main flaw in the current model is that private profiteers have acquired control of the credit spigots. They can cut off the flow, direct it to their cronies, and manipulate it for personal gain at the expense of the producing economy. The benefits of bank credit can be maintained while eliminating these flaws, through a system of banks operated as public utilities, serving the public interest, and returning their profits to the public. This book looks at the public bank alternative and shows that it works admirably well with examples from around the world. It provides the key to a sustained high-performance economy and well-being for the people.

The World of Debt
Web of Debt [4] The Shocking Truth About Our Money System and How We Can Break Free, by Ellen Brown
Description: Our money system is not what we have been led to believe. The creation of money has been "privatized," or taken over by private money lenders. Thomas Jefferson called them “bold and bankrupt adventurers just pretending to have money.” Except for coins, all of our money is now created as loans advanced by private banking institutions — including the privately-owned Federal Reserve. Banks create the principal but not the interest to service their loans. To find the interest, new loans must continually be taken out, expanding the money supply, inflating prices — and robbing you of the value of your money.
"A big fan of Ellen Brown who has written some one of the best books on the subject." - Gary Kinghorn
