Sam this is something close to what seems to be needed, and may be happening, taking physics into account.

From that point of view we can consider Earth a lump of capital.

We know matter is energy is information etc, so in the zero sum game of conventional financial-only economics, every lump of capital, every bank balance, every debt, every gallon of fuel, and even every energy static meter reading, is a measure of Earth-bound, static stored energy.

We also know that all of the energy which went into creating all of those things came from the sun.

And we know that the sun carries on dynamically adding to all things on Earth, every day, just as it always has.

So we see something doesn’t match between the financial economy and physical reality.

The value added by the sun every day, the source of all things, is missing.

It took billions of years of energy from the sun to create Everything on Earth.

Whilst we were not consuming it at speed, and whilst we could not influence its effect one way or another, the approximation of ignoring the value added by the sun kind of worked, for a few thousand years.

But now we used more than half of oil reserves in 150 years flat, and we have developed various capabilities to influence the effect of the sun on Earth, by adding/removing things that convert it to heat, oxygen, carbon dioxide, electrical power etc, those effects can no longer be ignored.

The energy of the sun has to be wound into our financial economy, to put things right.

The consequence of that is that it blows the zero sum game wide open.

Bitcoin, which is ironically claimed to be designed to preserve scarcity, appears to be the main gateway between the energy of the sun, and our economy.

Solar powered proof of work tokens are effectively captured energy from the sun, added to our economy.

By that route, energy from the sun is being most efficiently pumped into our world economy, by the backdoor.

That is a physical explanation for the reason why money issued as stimulus now goes up in value at the moment of issue, instead of down, as predicted by zero sum economics.

At one time, a drop in value predicted was true, before solar powered proof of work tokens, hence things like Weimar we witnessed.

But it isn’t any longer.

Now, infinite stimulus is becoming possible with no loss of value by dilution of capital.

In fact, it is capital which stands to be devalued.

Remember oil prices going negative?

That was our first glimpse of capital being devalued.

That happened when the first stimulus, equivalent to 10,000 dollars per head was issued, in US, whilst the dollar value itself went up.

Now it is only matter of time until it is accepted that the money issuance taps can simply be turned on, and left on.

We’ve worshipped money ever since it came into existence.

Actually we worship energy.

Until now that was energy exclusively from below.

Now it is becoming energy from above.

See, even science and religion are aligning in a funny kind of way.
