Abstract

This paper examines the ontological nature of modern money creation and the destructive socio-economic impacts of compound interest. It seeks to expose how the private banking sector’s monopoly on money creation through debt-entry mechanisms serves as a fundamental barrier to human rights, mental health, and ecological sustainability. Using a critical political economy approach and a socio-legal case study analysis, the research investigates the mechanics of fractional reserve and credit-creation banking. It specifically analyzes the correlation between usurious debt structures and social collapse, utilizing the Indian agrarian crisis (1997–2010) as a primary case study for the human cost of compound interest. The study reveals that approximately 95% of the global money supply is created as debt by private institutions, making "scarcity" a systemic artifact rather than a physical reality. The research identifies "Accumulated International Debt Syndrome" (AIDS) as a neo-colonial mechanism that prevents developing nations from achieving sovereignty. Furthermore, it demonstrates that "financial unviability" in green energy projects—such as tidal lagoons—is often a mathematical consequence of interest-based discounting rather than a lack of technological or resource feasibility. This paper bridges the gap between monetary theory and humanitarian ethics. By reframing 200,000 farmer suicides not as individual tragedies but as "systemic executions" caused by interest-bearing logic, the work calls for a paradigm shift toward debt-free sovereign money and the abolition of usurious frameworks to facilitate civilizational progress.

Abstract

This paper critically analyzes the socio-economic narrative of the "useless class" emerging from the discourse of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), as championed by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and figures like Yuval Noah Harari. It seeks to investigate how this narrative serves as a precursor to systemic exclusion and new forms of global authoritarianism. Utilizing a critical realism framework and political economy analysis, the study dissects the convergence of technocratic ideology, financialization, and digital surveillance. It maps the power structures of the "Global Asset Monopoly"—specifically the network of 147 companies controlling 40% of global wealth—to understand the structural drivers of human marginalization. The research identifies a transition toward "Digital Fascism," where Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and social credit scoring function as mechanisms for total behavioral compliance. Furthermore, the study finds that immersive technologies like the Metaverse are positioned not merely as entertainment, but as tools for cognitive pacification to manage a population rendered economically redundant by automation and systemic poverty. By synthesizing the critiques of financialization with the psychological implications of the 4IR, this paper offers a unique perspective on the existential threat to human agency. It argues that the "uselessness" of humanity is not a technological inevitability, but a deliberate political construct designed to consolidate power within a hyper-centralized global elite.

Abstract

A major paradigm is the civilizational understanding of reality that dictates everyday life; thus, a paradigm shift is of immense significance. This paper presents large-scale research into the factors contributing to such shifts, resulting in the "Planetary Oneness Paradigm." This framework embodies universal unity and interconnectedness, challenging today’s mainstream reductionist understanding, which is outdated, inaccurate, and static. The paper investigates the historical roots of our current crisis, beginning with the geocentric Ptolemaic paradigm. That view established an authoritarian "Divine Right" for rulers and granted humans planetary dominion as "God’s Children." The first paradigm shift, the Copernican Revolution, introduced a heliocentric universe, undermining authoritarianism while maintaining human status. The second shift, Darwinism, reframed humans as one species among many engaged in a struggle for survival. This, alongside the rise of Homo economicus, summarized life as "Survival of the Fittest," fueling aggression, colonialism, and environmental depredation. Concurrently, mainstream economics consolidated fundamental assumptions that the Industrial Revolution had already rendered false. This research identifies 59 such false assumptions and discovers that their opposites are true. These true opposites form the components of a third paradigm shift: a Shared World View. This view unifies Science and Religion, offering practical solutions to seemingly insoluble global problems—including universal basic income, wide capital ownership, and voluntary population stabilization. By changing material circumstances, this paradigm enables the evolution of a selfish Homo economicus into an environmentally responsible Homo co-operans, providing genuine hope for the future.

Abstract

This book review examines John Maynard Keynes’s Essays in Persuasion, particularly the essay “The Future,” as a profound ethical and epistemological reflection on the trajectory of modern economic civilization. The review aims to reassess Keynes not merely as a founder of modern macroeconomics, but as a moral thinker concerned with the wellbeing of future generations. Keynes critically challenges the dominance of wealth accumulation, usury, and material obsession, advocating instead for a return to ethical purpose, leisure, and human flourishing. The review highlights Keynes’s distinction between money as an instrument for productive regeneration and money as an object of pathological accumulation. It further interprets his vision through a dynamic framework linking money, capital formation, technology, and social wellbeing via circular causation. By revisiting Keynes’s foresight in light of contemporary crises stagflation, inequality, and ethical erosion this review underscores the enduring relevance of his moral critique for rethinking economic policy, monetary governance, and the future of global wellbeing.
