1. The production/mass demand circle is looking increasingly vicious – what other criteria for success should we use to replace it?
2. When is a siege-economy (boo-term) just self-sufficiency (hooray-term) by another name?
3. If investment banking largely moves indigenous jobs offshore, starves the entrepreneurial sector, and creates unrepayable sovereign debt, why are all these heavily-bonused, tax-avoiding jerks necessary?
4. Should every G20 member have a large mutual-trust bank that encourages cutting-edge new business sectors and low-cost social housing? If not, why not?
5. ‘Enlightened self-interest is an oxymoron in today’s Western culture’. Discuss with examples.
6. ‘The health of society is more important than the wealth of shareholders’. True or false?
7. ‘Those who dislike Milt Friedman’s ideas are closet Communists’. Discuss with the use of yourleft brain hemisphere.
8. ‘Sustained growth, near-full employment, and social stability of the kind seen in the mixed economies of the West between 1952 and 1965 has never been equalled’ (CIA website). To what extent is this past judgement relevant to the future, if at all?
9. ‘The purpose of capitalism is to maximise the healthy employment of society’s law-abiding citizens and thus reduce the cost of government’. Would you agree with that? Give reasons and quantify why they are relevant.
10. List FIVE positive benefits for society as a whole deriving from obligation and derivative leveraging. (NB none of them should include your salary or options growth).
Good science and philosophy is not about the past, but rather the eternal. Until such time as Homo sapiens evolves (which it won’t do without geographical isolation or huge climate change) the eternal species truth is that we have succeeded by genetic competition within the pack, and cooperation between packs. We are doing neither of those jobs properly at the moment. New ideas about how to do it are vital if we aren’t to blow ourselves to smithereens at the end of a globalist game nobody can win.
