The Past, Present, And Future Of The Divine Economy Theory.

Thomas Aquinas is a towering figure in classical liberalism and also in the unfoldment of what can be described as a precursor to the divine economy theory. It is true that this philosophical line continues back to Aristotle but the elements and seeds of the divine economy theory go back even further, past Moses and Abraham, as far back as recorded history. Each time epochal civilization advanced it turns out that a fragment of the divine economy theory was there.

At the heart, each and every time, was knowledge gained about how to function as subjective beings along the pathway of social cooperation. This always tantalizing theme was a powerful motive force in the evolution of human civilization.

At present, and predictably in the future, the knowledge gained about how to function as subjective beings along the path of social cooperation will lead to an ever-advancing civilization.

Why Is Laissez-Faire Moral?

The 'reality' imagined by the interventionists won't conform - nor is it known!

Since reality - as far as we can understand - is only a reflection of human action and human action is subjective, it is always unknown.

No matter how much someone who is ego-driven desires to interpret or intervene, reality cannot be grasped. There is no moral authority to do anything which is why laissez-faire is moral!

Why Do Mainstream, Empirical Economists Misunderstand Subjectivism?

One of the reasons mainstream economists misunderstand the unity of thought and the conviction and unwavering confidence exhibited by 'students' of classical liberalism is because it has an ethical foundation.

Since empiricism extracts the human element, it necessarily extracts ethics also. Then when it is time to apply their 'economics' they have to make some kind of interpretation to reapply it in an ethical context in the human world. Inevitably ego-driven interpretation is what results which sends us in steps towards totalitarianism.

And it is this same empiricism of mainstream economics that makes subjectivism a mystery to them and causes them to misrepresent the certitude of the scientists who use subjectivism.

Why Not Just Call It "Capitalism?"

Words, new or not, have limitations which is the whole reason why models are used to supplement our descriptive power and our understanding.

The first subjectivist model that I developed, which is the foundation for "MORE THAN LAISSEZ-FAIRE", is first introduced visually as a four-petaled flower with a center. Or you could imagine the four cardinal directions (N, S, E, and W) but with a center. Here are the four elements: Imagine south as the Human Spirit, north as Transformation, east as Order, and west as Law. The center is what in the economic literature has been called equilibrium, which is what acts on all of these, and which I label as 'divine economy.'

Like I said, words have limitations so I suggest that you refer to the model(s) to get a better sense of what I mean by 'divine economy.'

One reason I don't simply call it 'capitalism' is because it is more encompassing. When talking about capitalism no one suggests that we just call it 'savings.' They are not incompatible but they are not the same thing either.

Although in a way this model may sound simplistic but the model is developed further. For example, the model I mentioned to you above is two dimensional - even though identifying the elements is profound in and of itself - but in a handful of pages in Chapter Two it goes from a two dimensional model to a five dimensional model.

Do not be alarmed because every aspect of these models is subjective. That is one of the most revolutionary and remarkable things about the divine economy theory.

Which Came First, Ideology Or Ego-Driven Interventionism?

As far as ego-driven interventionism is concerned the interventionist ideology did not come first. Whenever it started - and then later became an ideology - it started because someone was overcome by their ego and convinced themselves that they had the knowledge and the ability to 'do' the economy better than its own divine nature (of which laissez-faire is a weaker understanding of this phenomenon).

This perverse ideology of ego-driven interventionism, no doubt, encourages certain people - such as politicians and 'economists' - along these lines of action. Except for extreme cases I identify these individuals not as evil but as without a 'proper education.'

It is time for ego-driven interventionism to come to the forefront of the discussion so that a proper education can be received and interventionism halted. Although it is implied in the classical liberalism literature (although maybe some do not think that it is), as far as I can tell I think that I am the first one to label it as such and thereby pinpoint the precise cause of the attempt to destroy the spirit of laissez-faire economics (which I have further refined and defined as the divine economy).
