London Global Table  11th Dec. 2013

   ‘MATTERS IN THE AIR’

We seek ways to communicate the significance of

  • LAND:    The economic rent of all nature provided resources to be the source of public revenue
  •    MONEY:    The currency of society is to be issued on behalf of the people of that society interest free [given agreed costs].
  • ·  A BASIC MEANS OF LIVELIHOOD for all    A welfare security provision in the form of a living income is to be sourced for every citizen as of right—unconditionally.

This replaces the current means-testing bureaucratic arm of the state.
