Interventionism Often Is "Forced Development."

As I mention in my book, DIVINE ECONOMY And Its Real World Economic Principles, interventionism is an ego-driven corruption of the economy. Most often interventionism is due to ignorance of the divine nature of the economy. This ignorance emboldens the interventionist to try to 'fix' the economy.

With regard to fixing the economy: At best it is naive to think that all of the consequences over time can be foreseen. At worst it is a blatent disregard for any consequences other than the ones faced by a favored group for the immediate future.

"Forced development" is a descriptive term that exposes this sleight-of-hand. Resources are coercively extracted from the whole and channeled towards a particular project which is then held up as 'progress.' It may even appear as progress but almost any project that has forced funding and use of coercively extracted resources will appear to be successful. It is not difficult to see that this 'progress' is ego-driven and it is not difficult to see that this is the first appearance in a whole series of corruptions.

Eminent domain is an example of 'forced development' as is the current hotly debated coal-based power plants issue in Texas.

It should come as no surprise that politicians and their cohorts are the primary advocates of 'forced development.' Concurrently, these are the same ones who operate as interventionists, and who corrupt the economy by their ego-driven ignorance of the divine economy.

The Divine Economy Theory Will Greatly Serve Mankind.

The divine economy theory does not affiliate itself with any particular religion, it is the ultimate outcome of each divine revelation. The dispensation ushered in by each revelation from God bears fruit, culminating in a divine civilization. The workings within that divine civilization rest upon the divine teachings about the spiritual essence of fellow human beings, and the trust in God.

Since human action has the potential to be guided to be in line with the Will of God, a divine civilization can emerge that operates by using means to attain ends. If the means are evaluated and chosen according to the guidance given for that Dispensation then the economy is a divine economy. Of course the ends chosen are also influenced by the Word of God for that Day of God.

This is where economic science can contribute a great deal. It is independent of any religion yet it can identify the source of value and it can examine the different means to determine which ones serve everyone with justice. This is how the divine economy theory will greatly serve mankind.

Divine Economy Heals The Addiction To Interventionism.

The following analogy sheds some light on the subject of the contemporary economy.

The objection to stopping intervention is the fear of the consequences. Consider the life of an addict. It is the pain and suffering and the fear of separation that makes an addict lose the self-discipline needed to begin the healing process. If pursued though, not only does the healing process take place within the individual but across all of the social interactions.

This is the same with the divine economy. In its sick and addicted state the immediate horizon of abstention looks painful, with suffering and plenty of negative consequences. Just like with an addict the current level of intervention is no longer sufficient so with each increased dose there is more and more separating and corrupting of the economy further from its natural state. The economy is corrupted and distorted and so are all of the social interactions. Look around and it is easy to see corrupted, distorted social interactions!

Until the addict decides that the loss of one's true self is no longer acceptable the addiction continues. The strength to recover comes from the desire to honor and cherish one's own reality. This realization and discovery is often connected to a spiritual awakening.

At this time in history when the divine economy theory is just emerging there is a general ignorance. My task is to raise the awareness about the divine economy so that it can become a source of strength to counteract all the concerns about the negative consequences of withdrawal from interventionism. The healing process is very exhilarating. And the state of freedom from addiction is natural and optimal. In the case of the economy it is divine!

Recession Viewed In The Divine Economy Model ©.

The slowly creeping news is that we are approaching a recession. Numbers and talk accompany this worrisome phenomenon.

Since those who deserve the blame portray themselves as the physicians combatting economic woes there is little truth to what they say.

The simple fact is that the economy is a divine institution subject to corruption by the meddling of ego-driven interventionists.

It is now time for this alternative viewpoint to become known. This alternative viewpoint has a name and that name is the 'divine economy theory.' Although it is still in its infancy it can expose and dispose of the fallacious economics currently relied upon.

The Divine Economy Model ©.

Here is the Divine Economy Model ©. What I want to impress upon you is the 'justice/unity' axis and its identity which is labeled 'Nature and Role of Knowledge."

As knowledge is acquired it stimulates the desire for more knowledge and this process then moves the axis to the right.
