In TFE....

Newly created unearned money can be used instead of earned money where necessary. It could replace taxation, and many NGOs would benefit as they would no longer have to fundraise in most cases.

b)Since money is electronic it can be directly controlled along with the inflation levels..

I did a show commenting on these comments of yours to Harold on my daily live stream: rabbitholecentralDOTtv...check out my site (by clicking my name) "Streaming Joe Friendly, Harold and My Dad 12.31.07"

Thank you for your comment. No I will not be at any conference. TFE is at the time of writing a "work in progress" project.I also know Rodney Shakespeare who is a major authority on Binary Economics, or BE. Robert Ashford co-authored a very important book with him.

will you be at the conference in NYC Jan '07...I am very interested in this bright topic of enough wealth for all and to wake up from the illusion of scarcity

An excellent intro to Binary Economics. However, my project goes beyond this subject, and is called Transfinancial Economics, or TFE (see present internet essay on kheper)_
