Beginning with this thought experiment for taking action on climate inaction

Imagine with us that financing can be provided by a new global consortium of

  • Fiduciary Stewards of Society’s “Safe” Money aggregated into Social Trusts for capacitizing Mutual Aid Societies for Workforce Pensions and Civil Society Endowments
  • using the capacity of Size, Purpose and Time that they derive from their character as large, programmatic and self-perpetuating “forever machines”
  • to use the personal computing technologies of spreadsheet math, desktop publishing and digital communication
  • to allocate the aggregations we entrust to their planary power of discretionary authority, constrained only by our common sense of their capacity, prudence and loyalty,
  • through the financial mathematics of equity paybacks to an actuarial/fiduciary cost of money, plus opportunistic upside,
  • from current cash flows prioritized by contract for
    • Suitability of the technology to the circumstances prevailing at the time,
    • Duration of the social contract with popular choice, over time, and
    • Dignity in how the business does business, all the time, across all six vectors of cash flow through the Enterprise Chart of Accounts:
      • 1. Fair Trade; with suppliers;
      • 2. Fair Engagement, with communities, of place and of interest;
      • 3. Fair Reckoning with the consequences on Nature, Society and our Future;
      • 4. Fair Working, in the workplace;
      • 5. Fair Dealing, in the marketplace and
      • 6. Fair Sharing with the savers whose savings are the “raw material” out of which capitalism for enterprise is created buy its financiers, fiduciary and otherwise.
           
what kind of world
do we want
and how
can we make it happen?

THIS is the world we want

THIS is how we can make it happen


allocating Fiduciary Money through Equity Paybacks from current cash flows through Enterprise, prioritized by contract for:

  • Suitability of the Technology to the circumstances prevailing at the time;
  • Duration of the social contract between Enterprise and popular choice over time; and
  • Dignity in how the business does business all the time, across all six vectors of cash flow through Enterprise, including:
    • Fair Trade, with suppliers;
    • Fair Engagement with communities, of place and of interest;
    • Fair Reckoning with the consequences, on Nature, Society and the Future;
    • Fair Working, in the workplace;
    • Fair Dealing, in the marketplace;
    • Fair Sharing, with savers whose savings are the “raw material” form which financiers fashion capital for business.
