Abstract

The discipline of sociology is in a deplorable condition as it has a pervasive blind spot for the social dynamics of compound interest on credit, resulting in a systematic collective incompetence to bring well-informed structural solutions to the socio-ecological crises that human societies are facing everywhere around the world.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present a comprehensive and workable answer for addressing the socio-ecological crises that result from the severely flawed socio-economic system that is the capitalist world system to date. It presents a fundamental first step towards correcting this system, by addressing and correcting the monetary system whereupon a global kleptocracy has been constructed. At this point, there are no more excuses for social scientists, politicians, and regulatory agencies to hide in ivory towers. Conclusively, the feasible possibility for a pro-social, pro-ecological, and pro-economical financial system is presented here

Abstract

The purpose of this paper, is to demonstrate how capitalism as a system, is not required for the real economy but in fact, constitutes a parasitic superstructure that is causing socio-ecological necrosis. Consequently, credible systemic solutions to our global social and ecological crises should integrate sound awareness of pathological structures that are detrimental to a healthy socio-economic metabolism. As critical realism results in ethical imperatives from these findings, prosocial orthosociology presents systemic solutions. Project Free-B offers the possibility for a global interest-free financial system, beyond the need for the BIS-central banking system. The current global interest-banking system under BIS-regulation should be abolished as an institutionalised criminal system. On scrutiny, it proves to be socio-ecologically destructive by design and hence, constitutes a systemic violation of human rights.

Abstract

The global financial architecture proves to be a fundamental systemic driver of the currently escalating planetary polycrisis, causing enormous systemic risk by financial instability, economical inefficiency, increasing social inequalities, ecological overshoot and geopolitical tensions. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of systemic criminality and institutional failure in Flanders, focusing on the global banking system's role in perpetuating systemic ecocide and genocide. Drawing on empirical evidence from Werner's research on bank money creation, Gauvin & Dominguez's mathematical demonstration of monetary system instability and documented regulatory failures, we expose a pattern of institutional protection mechanisms in Flemish regulatory bodies and academic institutions. The paper culminates in a groundbreaking legal complaint filed with the Belgian Public Prosecutor, invoking the new Belgian Ecocide Law to challenge the current financial system's legality. This research demonstrates how Flemish institutions actively perpetuate a criminal system that generates approximately €15 trillion in annual interest payments globally, forcing 3.3 billion people to live in countries spending more on interest than education.
