Thoughts
I would start with something more recent to test the
waters. For example, in the aftermath of
WWI, I would endeavor to establish the Universal declaration of Human rights,
namely, “Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health
and well-being of himself and his family, including food, clothing, housing,
and medical care, and necessary social services,” rather than Mussolini’s
“corporatism,” where Big Business, Big Government, and Big Finance combine to
exploit the people with monopolized prices and corrupted dollars. Throughout history there has been some form
of subjection: be it religious, culture, race, or gender. The dominant form of subjection of our time
is this economic subjection, which is played out by our businesses, by our
governments, and by our banks. I would
probably try to encourage a profit cap which would distribute profit to those
that built the company productivity.
Under this system, business creation would not be for a selfish reason,
but rather a social one. As the social
aspects of society are more awarded and expanded into genius from strict
capital gain, so would productivity.
Many of the social diseases that are created by this accumulation
competitiveness would reduce and even be eradicated, ultimately leading to the
improvement and progression of the society, rather than the harnessing of the
poor for greater capital gain. In the
words of Muhammad Yunus, “Poverty can be eradicated in our lifetime. We only need the political will.” Then, if successful, I would explore deeper
into time…
