Changing the Economics principles

Changing the Economics principles

Today we have 1 billion of the world population producing “stuff” to the rest of the world. Mmm? Let me re-phrase that: “ producing “stuff” to the east European markets, USA, Canada and I would said Australia.
This balance between high production in one end and high consumption at the other end works pretty well in economics. But my question here is “this type of system works, for the natural behaved of humans and the World as a planet?
I don’t know the answer to that question but I have some data that I think is proving it doesn’t work. USA has high indices of suicides and still racing. Depression pills are being sale as milk in developed countries. At the other side of the balance a guy working in a factory only takes 10 minutes to eat in shift that goes for more than 10 hours, and then he doesn’t have the right to choose how many children he wants to have. Let’s build more factory and make this guy happy is not the answer.
My idea is to change exchange process, (getting & producing stuff), to a new exchange process of “discover and learn”.
Here I show you how as a developed countries can still contributing with millions of dollars to producer countries.

Instead of getting a T car lets take our holidays in Asia and spend $20 thousands dollars having fun over there. Think with that kind of money you can stay in Asia very comfortable for around 3 month learning that wonderful culture.


This kind of re-structure organized by the governments can take at least 100 years. Executed by the private sector, guy like you and I, it can take 10 years to start notice the change. Maybe then, governments instead of sending billions of dollars to relief campaign can start supporting this new way of economics by tax benefits for companies and individuals that are spending their money in those countries without getting “stuff”.

We already have a lot of “stuff”. A sensor located in a rear bumper of a car seams pretty handy, but how many people died by rear bumper? Let used our great mind developing for the health system, international law systems, instead of just a simple car. Yes I am waiting to see and get the cars that are able to fly.

Think about this new world:

• Reduce the production of “stuff” by half will solve a lot of the problems of global warming.
• Companies and individuals will stop spending energy in those developed countries at least 10%, (because they would be traveling)
• The soul and mind of humans would be enriching by the cultural exchange.
• Clear minds can produce more new ideas to make us live longer in this beautiful world call Earth.
