In the country of my birth the United Kingdom we have a problem. For a country which reaped the benefits of being an empire. We are now suffering the adverse effects of being an ageing economy with less and less productivity year on year. I have recently returned to mother Albion after being held hostage by own heart and its feelings towards a beautiful yet deadly woman. My time in Asia, living and working in both Tokyo and Beijing taught me some things: a) how to teach anyone English, and b) alternative economics. I personally have witnessed the advantages of the styles of Japan and China and I can safely say that we should take inspiration. The collectivism in Asia although homogeneous and sometimes a little too safe/comfortable should be seen as a ground, a stability, and a reference for direction.
Although I have had some pretty serious disagreements with some individuals who wear a socialist mask and those who see me as an arrogant individual. Other than these quibbles the peoples of China and Japan are, I believe, peace loving communities. That has been my experience. The economics of the Chinese miracle demonstrate Xi Jingping’s faith in Marxian Teleology; this is no laughing matter. The Chinese are in competition with the West and we should be cautious yet optimistic when engaging with this vast nation and culture. Signs for optimism include a free suggestion from a team of solar energy researchers. A Chinese proposal gifted to the USA that suggested a solution to their emissions: cover all highways and motorways with as many tunnels as possible. Lining the outside with solar panels. The sheer surface area coverage would vastly reduce fossil fuel usage (but no sunlight for drivers). Plus the unforgettable global push to safeguard nuclear fusion technology.
Yet I wonder what improvements are still yet to be discovered? Is there a way to educate enough people to raise their vibration high enough to realise that money and finance are just waveforms. It has a predictable, yet technologically mediated pattern. One that with today’s technologies is learnable by any person in any social situation. If our government is serious about reducing participation in extremist agendas on both the left and the right. Then it must address the absence of a pot of gold. It is my opinion that financial literacy should be ramped up through every stage of a young or old persons life. The very concept of trading is hidden in terms of the abstract exchanges of monetary value. This should be culturally and socially fixed because if you show a family: they have access to a value making machine that is vastly bigger than their wage and local economy. Then this is a way to start healing social disparities. The tax rules could remain the same if you showed people how to generate a surplus then you will find that they would be overjoyed to pay his majesty’s government its fair share of the profit.
Now I am not there yet in my own financial journey I have hit some walls/set backs that have been frustratingly engineered. However, I will endure and I will keep putting forth this argument because as the greatest analytical marxist (economist John Roemer) has stated. We should no longer measure an economy’s health via GDP. Rather we should measure the efficiency by which its citizens can access wellbeing: i.e income or a positive ability to self actuate value. This is what currency trading can gift the cosmopolitan.
