Jag har några rader från en vädjan till G20 som kunde passa in här så jag klistrar in några rader:
* Monetary systems should be controlled by sovereign national governments, not the central banks which mainly serve private finance. The main economic function of the monetary system should be to assure adequate purchasing power to consume an environmentally sustainable and optimal level of production whereby the basic needs of every person in the world community are satisfactorily met.
* Income security, including a basic income guarantee and a national dividend, should be a primary responsibility of national governments in the economic sphere. A right to adequate purchasing power should be part of every national constitution.
* The primary function of international finance should be to assure fair transferability of
value among national economic systems, utilizing, to the extent possible, fixed and transparent exchange rates. Speculative attacks on sovereign currencies should be outlawed.
* Private creation of credit for speculative purposes should be abolished, and capital markets should be regulated to assure fairness, openness, and freedom from predatory practices.
* Every national government should have the right to spend lowcost credit directly into
existence for public purposes—including infrastructure, environmental protection, education, and health care—without incurring new debt.
* The physical backing for every currency in existence should be the actual production of national economies.
* National governments should treat credit as a public utility — like clean air, water, or
electricity — and should assure its availability to all citizens as their social heritage and as a basic human right.
* National credit policies should favor the development of sustainable local and regional
economies, of small business, and of family farming.
* Credit should be regulated in order to encourage maximum ownership of property by
individuals without artificially inflating its price.
* The private banking system should be utilized to provide liquidity for business operations but should not be needed in a properly constituted system to finance consumption or capital formation.
* There should be an immediate worldwide moratorium on home foreclosures and
recognition of the right of each person to a secure home.
* An International Debt Settlement Commission should be formed and charged with producing a clean financial slate by reviewing all existing public and private debt and determining through due process what can reasonably be repaid, restructured, or forgiven.
It is time to assure that the world financial system is no longer operated for the benefit of the few over the many and that it reflects the spiritual principle that the natural resources of the Earth belong to all of humanity and must be rationally distributed to every individual, such that no one is left behind on the path of human progress.
