SOCIAL ECONOMICS
               Social Economics is the process of merging the best aspects of capitalism with true democracy for
               the benefit of both the individual and society; which yields the term “social capitalism” or
               “cooperative capitalism.”


               Within the capitalist scheme, the principle means of production (material resources), are owned by
               private individuals who can monopolize and adversely affect the availability and cost of products
               and services; who can manipulate markets as well as the legislative process for unfair advantage;
               and, who can abuse the labor force required to create the products capitalists profit from.

               Profit and money have the ability to motivate positive or negative outcomes. However, money is
               not the cause of social and economic inequity – inequity is due to corruption of individuals.  The

               use of money to influence destructive actions; the exploitation and atrocities committed by
               individuals and corporations to obtain money; and the dysfunctional economic processes
               individuals must maneuver to obtain money, pose the greatest threats to society.

               Labor and materials are required if one is to create wealth, thus the theft of, and exploitation of,
               land, and abuse of the labor force by corporations and business-people will continue until their
               greed is contained. Greed is a mental illness.


                       LOGIC
                       All the resources of the earth belong to all people and not exclusively to those who have
                       selfishly exploited resources and labor for profit, which has compromised our ecological

                       systems.

               A well-designed social-economic system ensures inventors, entrepreneurs, production and service
               units, and private corporations have access to the resources required for production and service
               provision, and that appropriate oversight is administered to prevent fraud, inefficiency, waste, and
               theft to ensure the needs of all people are met.


               The people jointly manage and grant Usery Rights (see definition within this section) of resources
               required for production and distribution based on established allocation priority levels and
               recommended conservation measures, if applicable.

               The people of every nation determine allocation rights for their natural resources and recycled
               materials; and determine the maximum labor hours an individual works daily for the production of
               goods and the provision of services.


               All requests for the provision of goods and services for the operation of a production or service unit
               or independent business will be submitted to the people through iPresent’s Production and Service
               Enactment process.
