Man is Good
and if shown good
will do good
Socrates
Love for neighbor
is not only the perfect spiritual principle
it could also prove to be the most efficient economic policy
and if put into universal practice
could lead us all out of cycles of boom and bust
unemployment and endless poverty
Current competitive economic policies
are at base cynical about the innate work-ethic
creative motivation and productive output
imprinted in the human psyche
They carry with them unnecessary economic burdens that hamper the commonweal
and thus lead inevitably to periodic breakdowns
The negatives that limit economic competition are legion
Inequality
Greed
Envy
Dishonesty
Trespass
Barriers
vaults
Jails
Ill will
Terrorism
War
Endless policing and suspicious administrative oversight - consumes some 60% of the GNP
Love of neighbor
encourages self pride
brings out the best in all of us
and via the example of general goodwill
gradually gets rid of all the worst in us
