That is the claimed position, but they defend also the established big business.
One example of such behavior is finance, where big regulation promotes big actors, preventing newcomers and access by small players or even people...
Neoliberalism is a myth, there is crony capitalism (mercantilism too), very common like is finance today, where states protect you, and banal capitalism where you pay your mistakes, that common people experience locally.
Maybe we are going too far from the subject... This question is hotter than reality of LENR and will never be solved by evidences. Future will say who is right.
You are right, the problem is that the fundamental laws of economy dont are used.
The fundamental laws of economy are: 1- (gain) profit. 2- competition, when this 2 laws are working, then we have a market. If this two laws are not implemented, then we have "crony capitalism", "neoliberalism", too big to fail, etc.
You will not get your microcapitalism without a lot of state intervention. Otherwise it is might makes right all the way until a few gigantic corporations control everything and set the terms of engagement, as we learned with Standard Oil and US Steel in the late 1800's, when regulation was very laissez faire. The trick in my mind is not having a lot of red tape, but having the right kind of red tape.
Right, but we can not fix a educative problem with more rules, dont matter the amount of rules, a egoistic human always will find ways to bypass the rules. The real solution is a real change in the root, in the educative system, to develop the right values of science and love in the citizens, not indoctrinated humans that we have now. and when i speak of science, is not about our selfserving definition of science that keep LERN out of development, because our science is really dogmatic.
Display MoreWe are in a transition mode... Failure of previous model is causing people to play with the rules...
Some think about basic income, to give a safety net so that people can afford to take risk (not the usual vision in France), to get education, to acquire capital and start a business...
Some think the basic income (or wealth) can just pay itself (through simple taxes) by the activity it creates when it unlock initiatives (not just allowing inactivity)...
There can be sociological resistance, and regulation, to oppose that.
In France "sharing" economy (home capitalism) is fought desperately, and since long we practically have prevented people to invest retirement fund in shares, to push state bonds. The results is that here people are mostly rent-owner who ignore it, working in a foreign owned company.
LENR, as it is naturally smallscale, promote more than many other technology a microcapitalism, or an autarcic, model. Anyway it can be implemented the Soviet way, with big powerplants, if regulation prevent local usage. My bet is that it will be the first rank of regulation, to forbid local production.
Yes all the society are in a transition mode, http://mutualwelfare.org/ and LENR can make this happen more faster.
For understanding the problem of economy, we need to understand two basic concepts: Money and Interest. When we understand these concepts well, then we can understand Theorem A + B as expressed in 1920 by C.H. Douglas.

And there are two options: 1- reset the monetary system. (It was what we did in the old times) 2 - Give money to people.
Since it is no longer the kings who govern the world, but the bankers, option 1, is discarded. (Unless the citizens from below organize and do it).
So, the basic income is going to be a reality, and we also agree is that if it is high, $ 2,000 a month, it will produce problems. But if it is low, $ 500, which is what we propose, a minimum universal income, then will be a redefinition of what is "work" and "social security".
At that point, money will no longer have the supreme importance it has today. Since with little money you can have everything, and a lot of money will not allow you to have everithing, in fact, there are already people who do not sell their factories to the highest bidder, but the one that goes more according to your vision for the factory, with its values. Money stops mattering, that is the direction.
Finally we do not need more taxes to implement a universal minimum income, we can take that money from the tax havens with a tax on those transactions and take money from the military budget. Especially if we start giving it just to women and older adults. (Young men go to work!).
