Generate the money, just print it!
Everyone on earth will get an equal quantity of money, every month.
Now this money can be used in two different ways.
1) Buy natural resources
2) Buy services
This distinction is important:
When somebody provides a service, like fixing your bike he gets money and can keep it.
When you buy a 'natural resource', like wood, corn or oil the money must be destroyed.
What I hope to accomplish this way is several things:
- Equal chances for everyone, everybody can buy the same amount of natural resources on earth.
- Destroying the money keeps the total money amount balanced. Natural resources are limited so a limited amount of money seems fair.
- The system makes adding value to the world profitable. You are stimulated to be creative and do something for someone else!
- Perhaps the total amount of money will increase. This is not bad perse, rich people will get less rich. But everyone always has enough money to live a good life.
This is the basic idea. How this should work in practice needs lots of work, but I'm really curious how you guys think about this!
