Jack your first sentence here effectively says to me, you are motivated more by belief than understanding of any solid framework like the physics of nature, which might underpin your arguments, it seems to me.

The whole concept of capital is what ties us into markets which are not free. The reason the folk you identify are being excluded from it, is firstly that they just have no capital, but deeper than that, they don't believe in capital, like you do.

I've shown physically why our handling of capital is physically unsustainable, it is the fundamental driver of our obsession with fuels extracted from Earth, because those are capital, whilst energy itself is not, and the only actual source of energy is from the sun.

The only way the problem of capital can be fixed, is by removing the power of it, that is by dissolving it in some way, as nature is begging us to do.

We saw the first glimpse of how to do it when $4Tn stimulus was issued per month, for a few months in US.

That opened the gates of a stampede into the markets, of people who didn't beleive so much in capital. In fact they were trading with free money, with no wish to make profits, they were donating, towards the things they saw as valuable, like shares in companies they still loved, but were technically bankrupt, so we saw shares in bankrupt companies soar, some companies even rescued from the dead, by donations, including Hertz, for example.

Also at the same time we saw oil prices go negative, the first and only time so far, for any commodity in history. So the people voted against that, with their free money.

That was the only time we ever saw free markets, and the real power we could have there, if all people had endless free money.

Another astonishing result was that the value of the dollar went up in international markets, not down, which was the opposite of conventional economics, even MMT.

Now we know we can generate free money physically, and to some extent were already doing so then, by monetising sunlight, which explains technically why the dollar went up.

Also the market prices of both Bitcoin and Gold, the kings of capital, languished.

What we were seing was free money being valued more highly than either of those icons of capital.

After all, given the choice, what would you choose to support; something that gives everyone forever financial security (The energy of the sun), or something that only gives a few priveliged folk known, finite financial security (Capital) ?

I look forward to one day reading your analyses of the new system / ideology we might one day identify as "Energyism".
