On A REAL GCR


A friend has sent me an article about a new biography of Karl Marx, and asked me if I was interested in fiscal matters.  Am I interested in fiscal matters.  Is the Pope Catholic??  My response:

"Bottom line: Any philosophy that rests on the principle that The end justifies the means is doomed to failure.  As it should be.

"Stan

"P.S. Am I "interested in the financial landscape"??  Indeed i am.  And am even Marxian in a way.  That is to say, for the idea of doing away with the motive of 'profit'.  (And interest-bearing money.  And its training-wheel partner, fractional-reserve banking.)  But he/his way of thinking would just keep things on the material level.  The answer is to go spiritual - i.e., to go for truth in our living.  Which means, to recognize that we are 'spiritual beings having a human experience'.  And so, should go for the motive power that reflects that truth, that larger reality.  To say: To share our goods and services with one another - and give of our best in the process - out of a higher motive than the one of making a profit.  Out of the highest motive that there could ever be: Out of gratitude to our Creator for life with meaning.  Out of, in a word: Love.

"Hey - we've tried everything else.  And look where we are at.  

"Time for a change.

"For the 

"Change."
