TERMINOLOGY DEFINITIONS AND GENERAL INFORMATION
STANDARD NEEDS
Standard Needs are products and services the people agree to contribute their skills and energy to
produce or provide, which yields Earned Equity.
Standard Needs are products or services all members of society receive because the product and or
service is a basic necessity, or requirement, that if one were denied, would cause negative physical
effects, or that could endanger the life of the individual.
The goods and services required for the existence of a community are also Standard Needs.
Examples: Food, shelter, medicine and medical procedures, utilities, administration and
communication systems.
Cold climate communities would also require heating. Thus, the Standard Needs of communities
will vary, yet resource allocation for communities of similar size would be equivalent and based on
the region's resources, which will necessitate inter-regional and international trade.
EARNED EQUITY
Earned Equity is the right of access to the products and services the people have agreed are
Standard Needs for all people – with exception to individuals who are permanently exiled for
crimes against humanity or human rights violations.
To place orders for Standard Needs, one's Work Equity Requirement (quota) must be in good
standing, or Willits are required to purchase Standard Needs items at True Cost.
Earned Equity cannot be transferred, nor exchanged.
WORK EQUITY REQUIREMENT- STANDARD NEEDS SYSTEM
To obtain access to Standard Need items for Earned Equity, one must complete the monthly work
equity requirement. The work equity requirement is determined by taking all the man hours
required to produce all Goods and Services the people have determined are Standard Needs for
society. The total “Man Hours” are then divided by the total able-bodied citizens, and fractioned
based on household size.
A community will be able to quickly ascertain its viability, and, if additional citizens are required, or
the community should be absorbed, or deconstructed.
