Economies: Easier To Destroy Than To Build

If someone were evil enough to set out to destroy an economy, it would be quite simple to do – just destroy the producing class, that group of individuals who create products and services. The group that CREATES wealth.

If one were evil enough and short-sighted enough to want to destroy an economy, it would be simple. All they would have to do is alchemically make zeroes appear on computer monitors, masquerading as “money” but not representing any work done by human beings.

The result would be inflation as the paper “money” would be worthless and would put the next several generations of humans into a sea of debt with no prospect of every seeing dry land. This “tax” would thus complete the task of destroying any ambition or desire to produce, and the creation of real wealth, backed by human energy and intellect, would cease.

If one wanted to destroy an economy it would be quite elementary – reward those who only consume and do not produce and punish those who produce and save.

Only when Human energy and intellect, that is Work, is valued once again and not taxed into oblivion will Wealth Creation return to us.

It took roughly two hundred years to create an economy the size of which the world had never seen and now roughly one generation to destroy it.

It is always much easier to destroy than to build.
