The Both/And Ethic. Perhaps a way to present Social Credit to Business and the general populace.

[Steve Hummel BenFranklinWasRight]

Marx was incorrect in thinking that business, the bourgeoisie, would
unite with workers in the name of abolishing profit. Douglas was right
that BOTH individuals AND businesses could unite in the name of
personal and monetary/economic Grace.

A little sermonette of Cooperative Integration, Puritan Cost
Accountancy, Personal Responsibility and Symmetrical Grace .

Must we always only react to Life? Can we instead integrate our
responses to include the best aspects of competitive ways of thinking?

Socialism is a reactionary response to Capitalism. Capitalism is
equally a reactionary response to Socialism. Social Credit is an
evolutionary response to the interplay between capitalism and
socialism that preserves BOTH profit making systems AND also provides
an appropriately humane consideration of the individual which both
capitalism and socialism have unfortunately too often failed to
exhibited.

Our thinking is not balanced and integrated. It lacks symmetry of both
individual and communal purpose, and hence is less inclusive, less
whole. An example of this is cost accounting. By all means let the
businessman depreciate his capital costs, we have no problem with his
desire to profit or make lots of money, but let BOTH he AND the other
individuals whose cooperation with him in this pursuit, TOGETHER, ALSO
be credited with an additional amount. This in no way takes from the
capitalist and yet also serves the purposes of enabling BOTH the
system AND all of the individuals within it….to simultaneously be
additionally compensated. This balances BOTH compensation AND costs,
and makes the system free in fact, instead of only in theory.

This is a systemically evolutionary and inclusive way of thinking and
acting for businesses and individuals. It adequately compensate all
and yet does not compulsively require that we take from one to give to
another. It preserves an ethical and humane symmetry of purpose
continuously and throughout the system…by incorporating a policy of
monetary Grace into it, which is precisely how we as individuals would
react to someone in need. In other words it radically humanizes the
system so that it characterizes how we as ethical and caring
individuals…actually are.

Let us as a community of businessmen and individuals work to evolve
the system upwardly toward the character and capabilities…that we as
individuals…already have!

And perhaps to anticipate the response of some, no, I am not selling
cheap Grace here, because it is indeed the responsibility of every
individual to take the time and make the effort…to create their own
character as well. Let us have symmetry of character and
responsibility throughout, back and forth and at all times. Policy
insures the continuous character of Grace in the system, and internal
contemplation of Grace insures the same in ourselves.

Symmetrical Grace in all things, BOTH personal AND temporal, and in
each moment! Who cares about perfection, but at least let the inward
and the outward fully enable the Good.
