Women and Economics



If economics does not work for everybody, you end up in a dictatorship. Dignified survival of Humanity and Natural biodiversity needs protection from market economics. This does not mean the elimination of market economies, which have served us for centuries. But it does make necessary an addition. The addition of a parallel currency that fulfills basic human needs, food, shelter, education and healthcare. Human labor and natural resources combine to make the real value that is behind money value. Without human labor and natural resources there is no market place.

How does market economics end up ultimately “eating” Democracies?


Market economies do not transfer quality of life equally - and in most cases, not at all. Market

capitalism is very efficient at moving money, unevenly.


To understand this, you will need to understand what causes inflation. The main driver of inflation is; People making money from Money. “Their” money does not return to the

marketplace to be used to purchase schools, hospitals, housing, food or

anything useful to the rest of the population. It sits in a bank and collects

interest or is used to speculate (gamble) on stocks. The wealthy make fortunes

and the rest of us have nothing or very little to invest.


Individuals with great fortunes (a small minority) gain access to human minds and labor and natural resources for their own use. Using their money to make more money. Importantly, they can also buy propaganda and political power. The result is a handful of individuals

controlling World Governments. And for the most part, they are not

humanitarians, they are dictators protecting their power. They know that money

buys power and power can force their agenda and make more money for themselves.

A self-reinforcing cycle.


Protection for Humanity and Nature with a parallel currency that provides food, shelter, education and healthcare will make it possible for freedom of speech and Democracies to

survive

I went to the Nagasaki Museum of Art. There was a special exhibit there called War in the Eyes of Artists; from Goya to several Nagasaki artists. Though I had deliberately avoided visiting the epicenters of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki for reasons I have already expressed, seeing this exhibit at the museum was just as intense. For this log I am going to highlight a display I found most moving. I am including the youtube address where it can be seen and heard. Place address here The display starts with a poem and an illustration. Both commemorate the bombing of Nagasaki. After viewing the illustration and reading the poem you enter a small theater to sit down and watch an animation of the illustration set to music. All the children, adults, animals and Shinto like creatures that are in the illustration (in a huge tree) come to life and move to the rhythm of the music. A male voice sings overall, lyrics that may have to do with the poem, written by singer/songwriter Masaharu Fujiyama and entitled, “Kusunoki; Blown by the 500-year Wind.” The illustration is the work of an artist named Junaida. The lyrics were inspired by the Kusunoki (camphor trees), which survived the atomic bomb.
