a different way of living


federico pistono points out two deficiencies of the current monetary system - a. inefficiency: he gives the example of the food supply. we currently produce enough food to feed 17-18 billion people, however, 2 of the total 7 billion people on the planet are undernourished. that is insane, b. debt slavery is a necessary artefact of the current design of the monetary system.

are there any change incentives for the plutocrats who created this mess - perhaps few given that they are untouchable. pistono suggests the rationale of positive externalities for them in a contended world of abundance. but then again - we do not understand the motivations of the few that control so much - what is logical for us may not hold their interest - it was benjamin disraeli who said "the world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes."
