@robertaklinck -human- heart. I'm pretty sure North is human. Doesn't really matter how greedy he is though. He isn't in a position to print, tax or bomb your or my money away. And that's the point.

How's that Y2k thing working out North?

@ManInAHighCastle I was just about to post the same comment... =D

[robertaklinck]

Dr. North says the intractable problem is the greed in the human heart. Does that include his heart, or is it just everybody else's?

[robertaklinck]

@kingcherub "I am in fact the world's leading expert in the field of Social Credit" doesn't strike you as a preposterous claim and a direct derogation from his credibility? North is at ease with dismissing people he disagrees with as "crackpots", but only a monster of vanity and ignorance would blithely claim to be the world's leading expert on anything. One would hope he was joking, but the tone was not jocular.

[robertaklinck]

By attributing all the failures of our contemporary economy to Keynesianism, Dr. North seems to imply that before Keynes such failures were unknown. He certainly knows this not to be the case. Keynes's proposals were a response to the patent fact of recurrent economic crises, albeit a response that has not proven successful (except to the bankers in whose company Keynes circulated).

[robertaklinck]

I am quite familiar with Major Douglas's writings and would challenge Dr. North to cite where the former excluded on principle any class of citizens (North says "the rich") from receipt of the National Dividend. Of course Douglas saw that power production, now vastly accelerated by robotic production, meant that the human factor in production was contracting and that this meant the potential for personal freedom and leisure were growing. His proposals were designed to realize this potential.
