We live in times of great duality. We struggle to be successful individuals at the same time we want to be a part of something greater than ourselves. Instinctively, we know that survival is a cooperative effort and although
Capitalism has triumphed so far, we feel the need to harnessand modify it to help us-all mankind-to move to a more fruitfull
and meaningful future. Many things can be done to design a better economic system which will allow individuals to fullfil their needs, contribute to society and free ourselves from economic slavery.
The Fusion Economy-The Premise
When we talk about Fusion economics, we talk about an economic system that attempts to best support the accomplishment of Maslow's Hierarchy of needs. We do not live just to work even though there are times when survival and upward mobility are the main goals. However, our inner development does not move in a linear fashion. Different events that help form who we are take on more importance as we climb Maslow's pyramid. Some move faster than others....and some move not at all. Capitalism itself is moving up the pyramid and needs to become upgraded to move in support of rising levels of consciousness.
Development Level Fusion
Basically, the concept provides for a low level of economic need but a high level of top tier Maslow needs. In other words, a person would not need to be overly concerned with
food and shelter while they pursue higher goals. This might take the form of a state sponsored collective farm where free time is provided for study, self- development and research. This level is a higher quality environment than the subsistence level and a person would not need to forgo personal development because of financial constraints.
Wealth Building Level Fusion
This level allows for full blown Darwinian style capitalism and a total entrepreneurial pursuit of wealth, power, etc. This level would be supported by low tax rates, cheap capital with joint projects using State guarantees and private financing at very low interest rates. This is the level of maximum pursuit of wealth and economic development. It is the only level that will be exempt from the issuance of credits and make use official currency.
Service Level Fusion
In the world of tomorrow, civil servants will be very high paid with special benefits. In return, they will be required to make measurable contributions to society and measured within the context of cost-benefit. They will be solution oriented and not political.
To combat corruption, this level employment will be subject to PET scan lie detector tests on a spot basis. These high status high paying jobs will be on a short term contract only and no seniority system will be allowed.
Subsistence Level Fusion
For the unemployed, homeless or otherwise unemployable, state owned self sustaining collective farms will provide shelter, food, education and health care for all.
The emphasis is being self sustainable, retraining and education with half day work devoted to productive work on the collective enterprise.
Economic Sustainability
All transactions will be electronic and take place within a worldwide network of super computers. All taxes will be taken off the top of all transactions at a flat rate 10%. There will be no other taxes. There will be no currency except for the Wealth Building Level. Every other level will receive monthly bank credit depending on a rating system based upon education, civil and work history. Credits will be issued but it is up to each individual to live within their means. Basic housing, food, health care and access to all levels of education will be guaranteed to everyone except criminals.
Needless to say, the devil is in the details but the over arching view is that a Fusion Economy would allow for individuals to have more capability to develop themselves without the total obsession with survival and ever increasing consumption. The amount and rate of cultural, economic, scientific and artistic development should accelerate and add significantly for all mankind.
Imagine what things may develop when more talented and motivated people have more free time and the tools to pursue their own interests. The benefits for all could be enormous.
There is little doubt that a small flat rate taken on all transactions would add up to an enormous sums (a good topic for a doctoral dissertation) that could form the underpinnings for a new financial system where capital for new development can be raised-tax and interest free. But that is another story where more public-private joint ventures not only benefit investors but also the general public welfare
Indeed, the concept may sound naïve but it can form a basis for the development of a much more humane and productive economic system. It can be done. It should be done.
