If a social order based upon mutual respect, justice and peace is to be built it is essential that the common people learn to understand the financial system that currently rules their lives, with disastrous effects. In this series of Understanding Life and Debt Blogs I plan to introduce some key texts that may help the man and woman the their local communities across the world to see how the real and the financial economies are related.
Down to Earth: A Guide to Home Economics
Frances Hutchinson,
KRP Lid. 2013, 36pp.
Once upon a time people were able to provide for themselves, using the resources of the natural world, and their own skills and knowledge. Now we are governed by an incomprehensible machine technology, under a dictatorial financial system. How this situation came about is explained in this short booklet.
What could happen in future will depend upon ordinary citizens coming back down to earth, in their own local environments. The choice is between fully informed debate leading to local economic democracy, or permanent subjection to Big Brother. If conventional un-wisdom and meaningless sound bites continue to stand in for informed discussion, the ordinary citizen will face increasing subjection to a faceless, centralised bureaucracy. If socially, ethically and environmentally sound farming policies are not to continue to flounder for lack of funds, finance must be converted from a dictatorial master into a useful tool. The options for reform are spelled out in this study guide.
