Capital


Our Capital is the Earth. Chinese, Russians, Indians, Brazilians and South Africans access to Capital Moon and Mars. We can get Capital March only weakly.

We must use at the maximum the space using it for our survival and for our future.

Resource

A resource is material used by humans through science, which consists to understand nature. The resource that allows us to use others is energy, knowing that we can do more and more things thanks to energy’s density.

The value

The book "Robinson Crusoe" is transformed into a Common Good, looking for the meaning of the word Value.

We learn in this book that Value is due to resistance trying to obtain something.

The sophists whom want to create Value, with a monetary objective of course, are saying that it creates poverty.

To be rich

We define the chief of an enterprise positively as being the one whom historically allows us to favor the Association in our Society.

To be rich is to be useful. But it's above everything the ability to know how to use that you have got.

Money

Money is seen as the power of the money. This power consists to favorize the Association through Appropriation.

Brazil and the 30 glorious ones define the capacity to a country to become rich, having on money a Productive and Public Power, therefore lead by Citizens. This is Money Making, defining the Money as useful.

Trade

Trade is understood by many as the ability to create wealth in order to be paid for that.

Trade grows economizing Work and Association. The Glorious 30’s Industries organized their own Trade by Train.

The General Interest

The General Interest is a consistent set of Individual Interests. It even allows to create new Rights, while Philosophizing about the Common Good.

Machiavelli succeeded to explain General Interest, awakening Citizenship by the Common Good.

Traffic

Traffic is the power to individualize trades. So it increases prices and intermediaries. It decreases on  production, by the Quality / Price Report.
Trafficking impoverishes Earth and transforms Humans into Human Resources.

The Human Society

The Human Society has historically linked more and more elements with each others, thanks to and for the Work’s Saving.

At the beginning, Human Economy was using biomass. Fire permitted to keep food longer. Thorium permits to green the deserts.
