About this ebook

Prodigious researcher Edward Michael Tilley takes us on a first aid mission to cure mature capitalisms. Correcting Great Depressions is the holy grail of macroeconomics and End of War is the project that reliably restores our lost freedoms, economies, and prosperity
Wars, like our increasingly difficult lives, are driven by financial mistakes in Government Policy. These mistakes, like wars, are predictable, preventable, and they can be turned around by voters
When we don't know what to stand for, we can fall for anything though - and a global dystopia prospers from our failings today
ACT Parties and Right Plans give 200 democratic nations a solution to vote for, and an opportunity for all countries to replace guess-work with scientifically proven policies that build Good Lives, strong Social Contracts, and an End of War for us all

    End of War - Edward Tilley

    Introduction

    The number one problem the world faces today is Social Contract. Climate lobbyists might like to say that by 2035, our environment will be irreversibly damaged; but 100% of us globally, have some chance we won’t make it to 2030 if most of the thirty past mature capitalisms repeat in today’s nuclear era. So, as priority setting goes, Social Contract has to be on our radar screens before any other priority. As Social Contract also solves most of our day-to-day problems too, it’s well worthwhile our spending time to understand.

    Projects fix both of these important problems (Climate and Social Contract); so rather than simply appearing alarmist, this message clearly states the problem that we are going to fix reliably in this book and thesis.

    Few of us pay attention to economics and financial well-being outside of our own borders but a central lesson in this book is that a good life begins by broadening our gaze. Important lessons are learned from the policies and economies of other nations.

    Every country manages legal systems, education, elections, and all facets of a society; so it should not surprise you to hear that other countries manage these things better than we do too. Six-percent of nations internationally still live the American Dream today; with the freedom, justice and prosperity that you have probably been voting for unsuccessfully since your eighteenth birthday.

    A seldom understood reality for all economies, is that when you take any population - a country of ten-million for example, and give each household one-million-dollars, after sixty-years you will see terrible growth-stalling inequity as your capitalism matures. This is how successful capitalism is designed to work over time.

    Thirty mature capitalisms are documented in our researched record. No great civilization has ever survived them; not Egyptian, Babylonian, Persian, Roman, Greek, Ottoman, Byzantine, nor thirty other major civilizations, and many of those collapses can be attributed to common denominators like failed social contracts or resource shortages as we saw in Easter Island.

    The Great Depression of 1837, The General Crisis of 1640, mature capitalisms, wars and revolutions have repeated in historical record for millennia.

    The Long Depression of 1880 and Panic of 1894 resulted in World War I when European monarchies failed to reset the Panic of 1894’s financial imbalances amicably. The hardships of 1930’s Great Depression were avoidable similarly, and yet 80-million lives were forfeited in World War II.

    We have a quaint custom of putting a unique name to these decidedly not-unique events; we call mature capitalisms by names like Great Depressions, Long Depressions, Panics, General Crises, and our most recent mature capitalism, the Great Recession of 2008, continues without reset for ten-years now.

    There is nothing new about monetary system cycles – and surely there can be nothing unexpected about our mature capitalisms either.

    You might not realize that during today’s mature capitalism, we are also just twenty-years away from an era where our digital assembly lines can automate most of our basic needs in food, housing, and goods. Computers can make goods, grow food, harvest, package, and deliver to our doors; and we will begin implementing these processes worldwide too.

    Dairy production is an example of an industry whose processes were largely automated in just the past two or three years. Most industries are automating similarly - from mining to fishing, to farming, in all primary and secondary industries.

    As our basic needs of food, shelter, energy, etc. continue to automate, these productions become less a business production than a basic human right; we saw electricity become a public utility similarly 100-years ago.

    None of us care to screw lightbulbs into cars on an assembly line all-day; better to let our automation take care of these repetitive jobs and who could object. What we must object to, however, is the very real harm that unemployment creates for our families when social contracts are not protected during these socially important changes.

    Our government policies must balance policy to protect social contract responsibly and permit this change. We would all look very foolish if misinformation and petty squabbling blinded us to our imminent future of sustainable abundance.

    How short-sighted would it be for us to set events spiraling toward wars and a nuclear holocaust right at the dawn of this incredible new era? It would be very shortsighted.

    Do you imagine that once computers can grow and deliver all of our food, life-cycle-managed housing, healthcare, and basic goods and needs, that anyone will be unable to access these productions and that most of us will live within a dystopia? Nonsense. If we could place a vote that guaranteed good lives in sustainable communities, surely we would.

    Sustainable abundance through automation is a strategic plan for a bright future.

    Do policy makers who damage the social contracts needed to support this strategic planning, sound like good leaders? No, of course they don’t.

    Despite manifold evidence confirming we are in a mature capitalism which needs our government’s competent balancing, our votes are instead enabling policy that lets us spiral as we did in the 1930s.

    Wars and economic depression are at record-highs today, world debt is at a record 318% of all GDPs, and export deficits drive economic collapses more deeply every year in 68% of our 220+ nations.

    There have been thirty-nine wars worldwide in this past decade – since 2011; twenty-two wars are ongoing at the time of this writing.

    Why do governments feign credulity by managing economies internationally with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) report? A GDP report was designed to only ever show that there are no problems – in a world with record high populism, growth-stalling inequity, extremism, debt, and wars.

    GDP reports globally show that just six-percent of nations are declining by a nominal one or two percent last year. In forty years, World GDP has shown one incident of GDP decline - a 1% decline in 2008.

    Yet, politicians head to the polls lauding their brilliant track-record which resulted in a strong economy – based only on an obvious deception called the GDP report; and stock markets are equally misleading.

    When we don’t know what to stand for; we can fall for anything – and clearly we have fallen now.

    Freedom is only possible in a monetary system when cost-of-living is low in comparison to income. When income stays the same and housing, food, tax, education, healthcare – social contract – all rise, hardship replaces freedoms. The purchasing power of our uncommitted incomes, therefore, is our freedom – and freedom must be ensured per our Constitutions, or we become the mobs that Aristotle warned democracies can be.

    Food and shelter are as important as air but these are also at risk when incomes are restricted and Human Rights do not protect a minimum social contract in Constitutions.

    Taxation can be easily centered out by a large population who are struggling with mature capitalism’s imbalance - as we see in France in 2018.

    In the example of France, media in North America reported that riots were the result of tax increases – in a city, country, and social contract greatly diminished by wholesale increases in cost of living for the past 25-years.

    When reports returned to Europe that Leopold of Belgium had killed as many as ten-million Congolese in the 1890s, his media explained that Belgium was bringing heathens to Christianity which was a true enough report.

    When we fail to teach context, societies can be misinformed and misled.

    Taxation can correct social contract imbalance but low-tax by itself creates debt and stalls economic growth due to a high-inequity economy’s low opportunity and low access to sufficient incomes.

    Large democracies do not have an over-arching, educated authority that monitors, and can correct business and government policy mismanagement.

    70% of countries today made mistakes that landed them in mature capitalisms at the hands of untrained business, government, politicians, and voters.

    Why do we see a handful of really strong economies in Norway, Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, and others, at a time when many more nations are struggling? The short answer - is that these countries recognized that Conservative Policy changes in a mature capitalism.

    Conservative voters in those countries realized they had to protect their social contracts, and then citizens acted with their vote. A vote, therefore, is an action that can protect social contracts and economies.

    In history, when countries mismanaged mature capitalisms, they lost not just thousands of citizens to their social contract failures, they lost tens of millions.

    Policies like austerity, insufficient welfares, economic down-turns, industrial automation, poor resource planning, high unemployment, insufficient incomes, underemployment, globalization, and even Wars on Wall Street financial industry crises - killed millions.

    In 2018, forty-seven-thousand Americans will lose their lives to suicide. Peacetime gun violence will claim another thirteen-thousand lives. Casualties by gun deaths in the U.S. amount to four 9/11 attacks every year.

    This is not a better society; Japan had two gun deaths in 2017 and the U.K has not had a school shooting since the 1950s.

    There were recognizable stages to the social contract collapses of past mature capitalisms as well. First came currency wars, then trade wars, hard lives, social problems, debt, populism, nationalism, Great Depressions, failure to reset economies, and then these conditions were followed by revolutions and World Wars - many times, but not every time.

    America’s sixty-two-thousand annual deaths, this year and every year, can be fairly regarded as just the first wave of a casualty list that will grow much larger in the real wars that follow most mature capitalisms.

    In the end, putting an end to a war is as simple as not needing to make a choice to wage it. There are better options, alternatives, and preventions.

    Strategic planning, for example, is essential to avoid a monetary system maturing in the first place.

    When we found ourselves in a mature capitalism, and we respected the Social Contract, we simply wrote-down our national debts and then created new economies, opportunity and prosperity amicably.

    The California Gold Rush ended the Great Depression of 1837 and built the Industrial Revolution and greatest innovation of any Era before it’s time.

    Why these very important resets of our history are not taught to our children, can surely be considered a profound crime against humanity.

    Throughout recorded history, monetary system collapses are avoidable certainties that have come and gone every sixty-years - as discussed above in Setup.

    In 1941, Alan Turning realized that a computer was needed to solve the complex problem that Germany’s Enigma machine created for Great Britain in World War II.

    Similarly, a sophisticated tool was needed to decode our complex worldwide and local economies.

    Economics is not yet a science, so to prove that any solution could reset an economy - required the creation of a new science called Transition Economics (TE). I explained TE in my thesis and book of the same name in 2016.

    Managing Great Depressions has been called the Holy Grail of macroeconomics problems. In End of War, I prove that mature capitalisms can be transparently managed with two scientific methods – Transition Economics and SUSTAIN Transformation Method.

    TEP Charts and Proofs in Chapter 4 confirm empirically that a strong Social Contract is important to national prosperity.

    Unlike the GDP, TE’s SCP (Social Contract Product) confirms empirically that a government’s policies can advance its economy reliably, or send it collapsing.

    As with any scientific approach, we first prove that a policy will work, before we implement it.

    The importance of astronomy to physics is that celestial observation must be relied upon when scientific theories and proofs are too large to be emulated in a lab. In the same way, observation confirms new Transition Economics Proofs similarly.

    Statistically, one-percent of human populations will be born with legitimate criminal personalities, while fully 99% of us are born good. We are, therefore, a world of good people who are certainly well deserving of living within the sustainable societies that Aristotle called a Good Life; the American Dream.

    This is especially true when just two-dozen sustainable government policies are required to ensure an American Dream – a strong social contract.

    When you give everyone a pleasant home, and the assurance that their family will be secure, sheltered, and have the things they need year after year, you have the beginning of an important and sustainable society.

    Only a sociopath prefers to harm society, however sociopaths do exist too of course. People are jealous to see others get ahead, and we can be selfish.

    Today we see democratic voters forsaking hundreds of billions of dollars in trade annually, and even many trillions of dollars, forfeited by denying their neighbors the basic things that they need to make our shared economies prosperous.

    Our schools, democratic process, and media - by design or by omission - have trained us to believe and to vote as sociopaths do, and at our very great expense.

    Driving full-speed in the direction of a proverbial cliff; without correction – as we did in our last two mature capitalisms, created World Wars I and II.

    Slowing down doesn’t save you from running off the cliff, and neither does an uncertain course correction.

    Repeating this example from history - in today’s mature nuclear era, fails any test for basic common sense and social responsibility.

    When economies become tangled in mature capitalisms, it takes a precise 180-degree turnaround of two-dozen scientifically validated policies.

    Research, versus emotional special interest messages, confirm that opportunity and productivity are a sustainable defense against war - and against the hardships and frustrations that lead to war.

    It isn’t naive to think we can eliminate war; I present a list of simple proofs that explain the basic lessons that build societies sustainably.

    It’s not pretentious to explain that an End to War can be implemented through research and education either. Once your understanding of historical macro-economics and Transition Economics improves, it should be obvious to even the most ardent devil’s advocate that there are smarter and more impressive ways to correct our financial mistakes.

    Every country makes financial mistakes, most especially in our democracies which are laden with both untrained leaders and untrained voters.

    Fixing mistakes, rather than forcing billions to suffer unproductively, meets a basic requirement of social benefit that any common sense decision must.

    End of War reduces all of the work of building a sustainable society and economy, down to a single vote, in a concise, simple, trustworthy solution that resets mature capitalisms.

    Great leaders, are great philosophers - said Socrates. Kennedy was a better leader than brilliant orators like Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill too. Why? Because Kennedy understood epistemology; he understood great process.

    When NASA told him impossible; Kennedy insisted they explain impossible to him very specifically, and then he commissioned the thirteen impossible projects needed to land us all on the moon seven years later.

    Mind you – Churchill’s endorsement of Alan Turing’s Bombe Program - the world’s first eventually digital computer at Bletchley Park, was incredibly strong and even more beneficial.

    This is the power of great philosophy, thinking and leadership.

    I apply it here and I hope this will encourage you to apply these processes where you live.

    Another of philosophy’s most important lessons is that you have to be a person of life experience to understand how to build sustainable societies.

    Consensus in guess-work or leading by gut feelings, creates unnecessary hardship, austerity, and even dystopia and wars in mature capitalisms.

    Experts - build a better world provably and transparently. When we insist that diverse points of view, rather than well-trained and researched leaders and builders, belong in decision-making roles in government, on investment boards, in business, and society – we fuel the flames of advance with a water-bucket brigade.

    My distant cousin Eleanor Roosevelt administered the 30-point United Nation’s Declaration of Universal Human Rights in 1948 - which protects these rights as do our Bibles and Qur’an.

    Aristotle’s warnings that democracies are little more than mob rule when they operate without these basic protections, are confirmed by populist elections born of imbalance in maturing monetary system cycles.

    A democracy that collapses economically for twenty-years, as has the U.S.A., is not a government for the people. Super-power Poland watched Oligarchy play-out beginning in 1500 AD when its wealthy Lords were granted the opportunity to lead a true democracy by a great philosopher king.

    Poland’s wealthy lords went on to favor deals that protected their interests until the country shrunk to one-sixth its size over the next 500-years. The Polish people were almost obliterated twice - in 1630 and again in World War II.

    Following the money, General President Eisenhower explained that the Military Industrial Complex benefits from mature capitalisms. It’s a boom-time for special interests in fact; the U.S. Congress approved $200-billion additional this year – in just one country.

    The consensus that an untrained and emotional mob might vote for is seldom sound leadership, and emotions have put unscrupulous and unqualified parties and individuals into positions of leadership. History judges these individuals for what they are, but we don’t teach this history to our voters.

    Electorates are not mobs in a violent sense of course, but they are not expert country planners either – and voters absolutely can do harm to themselves and to others by supporting harmful policies and by not realizing consequences and causality.

    When marketing surveys create quasi-policies called Middle-class (the largest voting group in the workforce) and Diversity (half of the population by gender), while ignoring declining economies and social contract, your democratic election process is failing any measure of sound leadership.

    Voters have not been taught what to vote for; and special interests have the means through media to take advantage of this.

    We forsake experience, wisdom, and simple good leadership, when we fail to leverage great philosophy.

    Great leaders recognize problems and then explain how to correct them to forward our Good Life and Sustainable society

    Edward Tilley, 2018

    My small contribution to philosophy here builds on Socrates’ observation that Great leaders are great philosophers, Zig Ziglar’s the first step to solving any problem, is realizing that one exists, and Aristotle’s definition of a meaningful life as one spent building worthwhile projects that build good lives and a sustainable society.

    When I read a news article or book rife with dire events and frustrations, I realize that our media has been given-over to reporters and administrators only.

    Rarely are we presented with context and examples of similar events from past mature capitalisms.

    Governments don’t like to, or perhaps feel they cannot, acknowledge that they have a problem. Everything is terrific! The GDP and stock market are growing! Vote for us - for more of the same.

    Politicians and Government Ministers don’t like to admit that they have caused serious problems - like eroding social contracts which cost nations trillions of dollars in exports and growth annually. Compare your Export per Capita to the Netherlands $41,933 US annually to see how far your vote has let your country fall.

    If the first step to resolving a problem recognizes that you have a problem, then no solution can be forthcoming until we correct this reluctance toward acknowledging that we have resolvable problems.

    As I say, not every country has failed to plan. Very often, smaller nations have managed their savings, wealth distributions, and social contracts very well today.

    When these countries also included controls for housing costs in their cost-of-living inflation controls, their citizens live the American Dream still today - many years after America has lost hers.

    Strategic Planning requires that we now monitor important economic and social measures like GINI, export-per-capita, longevity, suicide, divorce rates, sustainable birthrates, pensions, debt-free home ownership, savings, trade surpluses; and, we must understand how to react to the trendings and teachings within the data.

    There must be an option to insist on this strategic planning at our ballot boxes.

    Today’s populist political parties seem willing to feign surprise only - as we run headlong toward the most dangerous possible outcome, rather than to acknowledge and then prevent the worst harms of mature capitalisms and wars.

    Small population nations who protected a strong social contract, have corrected their mature capitalisms; as have Monarchy-led societies.

    Large democracies, it seems, are the most at risk and difficult group to correct. Our last two mature capitalisms watched democratic societies spiral downward - despite symptoms of social contract declines like starvation wages, populism, social unrest, currency and trade wars, record rates of global revolution, and finally two World Wars.

    Leaders permitted their societies to suffer, rather than to proactively correct the unsustainable policies that were the cause. Populist leader Hitler came to power because of the Versailles Treaty’s failings of Social Contract in Germany; Trump came to power in a desperate Social Contract the same.

    From 1930 on, U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) created the American Dream and the strongest economy the world has ever seen, based on policies of i) wealth and income distribution (92% income and 80% estate taxes for 20-years), ii) nationalism, iii) full-employment, iv) Eleanor Roosevelt’s empathetic Universal Rights, v) a strong Social Contract model, vi) a mature and affordable home ownership system, vii) and low cost-of-living.

    End of War presents a plan that can be handed to a competent Minister of Economic Development and implemented immediately.

    TASK – The Academic Sustainable Societies Challenge, asks University Presidents to run this project and correct faculty silos that have failed to meet the strategic planning and social contract needs of sustainable societies for the past few centuries.

    Economics departments do not teach economics as they work today; instead, they teach theories on how economics should work. This unscientific approach is a shortcoming that can explain much of what we see in economies internationally. Transition Economics explains how economies do work, but it’s a new science that will take time to propagate - not unlike other sciences that can take decades to be adopted. Einstein’s Relativity was ignored for 20-years by western academia because Ether was the invested science of the time – for example.

    The ACT Party concept introduced here in End of War, solves Mature Capitalisms with a single vote. In a large democracy, nothing improves when you cannot vote for this.

    Today, we have the research, processes, data, and technology needed to predict and correct these repeating economic spirals in perpetuity.

    I hope you take away important thinking, approaches and lessons from the research in End of War - as I did.  Thesis or book, I have to tell you that it was an incredible challenge and learning experience to complete.

    When we are young, we think as EGO – fast cars, better jobs, trophy spouse, husband, house, money, and kids. As our children leave to face the challenge of starting lives of their own, a responsible man’s priorities turn to LEGACY. What mark did we leave? What is our track record in support of the next generation and making the world a better place?

    Imagine a doctor surprising you with the news that you have one-year to live (heaven forbid). A thinking person changes their life’s ambition from EGO to LEGACY instantly.

    If you live in a large democracy of over fifteen-million people, my coaching is to make your next-steps about building ACT Parties, and then casting your vote for them.

    Nothing changes for the better reliably if proven policy isn’t used, so vote for an ACT Party or ACT Compliant policies only.

    At the time of this writing, only CSQ Research Certification (see http://csq1.org) is considered a valid confirmation for political parties – but a list of credible certification programs should grow.

    At the point when citizens of all democratic countries, are trained in high-school to understand sustainable policy - and can vote for it too, our global economy can put an end to hardship and austerity.

    Educated action can permit us all to live good lives sustainably and can avert devastating wars forever.

    Let’s begin.

    CHARTER

    Chapter 1

    -

    Democratic Reform

    ––––––––

    The first step in solving any problem is to recognise that you have one

    Zig Ziglar

    The second step in solving any problem is to set into action a strategic plan that builds a sustainable solution reliably.

    The word sustainable here, means affordable, self-sufficient, and it also means prosperous when used in the context of a sustainable society. The time-honored engineering mantra flexible, scalable, and reliable are points that become requirements of our sustainable planning later on.

    Strategic plans should mandate that we run only government policies which are proven to build successful economies reliably.

    Government policy determines economies both good and bad, and not the other way around.

    To save pennies today, in defense of costing dollars tomorrow, is bad planning and not affordable policy; so we can call shortsighted policy unsustainable. Unsustainable policies include Low-Tax, which was as common a policy in the 1980s as it is today. This policy has driven countries to double their national debts every eight-years for thirty-five years now. To leave a national economy without the social contract needed to ensure citizens can contribute – is a similar unsustainable policy.

    A meaningful life is one spent building worthwhile projects that create a sustainable society

    Abridged, Aristotle Politic; Messerly [1]

    My approach to writing books differs from many authors in that I do not think that it is responsible to stop at raising awareness and cataloguing worrisome observations and social problems alone.

    When I write books, I explain how to solve the problems as well.

    Every problem is solvable – and my 25-year career in engineering goes a long way toward being able to explain how difficult problems can be approached, reformatted, and solved reliably – by teams of thousands if needs be.

    Analysis paralysis can be deafening outside the engineering world, and our project offices could be more mature too, but with good leadership, process, and experts, we can build incredible projects without the din of calamity and dysfunction seen in political settings.

    Larry Page of Google’s 2013 Driverless Car project took 12-months to develop a working 1.0 prototype. Anything is possible; it just takes focus.

    1.1.  Understanding Great Depressions

    To understand the Great Depression is the Holy Grail of macroeconomics

    Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Federal Reserve & Brookings Institute

    Managing Great Depressions is precisely what I explain in this book.

    To achieve a peaceful, sustainable solution to mature capitalisms, I employ two scientific processes. The first is a transparent and proven-successful epistemology called SUSTAIN Project Management Method. The second important process is the science of Transition Economics.

    SUSTAIN explains how to implement a change or solution reliably with processes based on best-practices and thought-leadership. One problem is solved much like any other and thousands of changes can be managed side-by-side one another.

    If there were never any problems, there would be no need of a change. Once a problem is confirmed, however, changes are best managed in a project.

    Good process never adds time nor cost. When things need to change, as they do in a mature capitalism, projects - are the heavy lifters.

    Project structure is as unchanging as are the parts of a horse. This uniformity is important because everyone working to a formal project methodology, understands that important common considerations – like training, or communications, stakeholder approvals, status reporting, team meetings, service levels in operation, etc., are all going to be discussed and delivered reliably – and in the most efficient sequence with proper opportunity for stakeholders to collaborate.

    A Charter, is a document that describes high-level goals & objectives, constraints of budgets and resources, working team members and leads, project stakeholders and approvers, risk mitigations, communication plans, and related projects.

    A planning model creates our gap analysis and these discussions determine which changes are needed to get from where we are today, to where we need to be; in employment, healthcare, affordable cost-of-living, exports per capita, and every other social measure.

    Requirements, Definitions and Inventory are documented and approved next - for each project identified during the Gap Analysis discussion; followed by a Design and Detailed Implementation Plan document. The design, like the requirements list, is vetted with stakeholders to confirm that stakeholders agree solutions meet needs. Service-managed operations teams ensure that the project implements the changes per the design successfully.

    Build teams go on to build more changes, and operations teams manage service levels and manage key performance measures that confirm the project’s original goals are met.

    In this way, End of War is sequenced as an implementable global program. If every country can take this book and implement a healthy economy by following the processes here, in the end we arrive at a sustainable World Peace.

    1.2.  Getting Started

    Who are our Stakeholders? We all are. Voters - are responsible to elect policy that determines the health of our economies. Policies control Economies; and economies only control us when we vote to implement unsustainable policies.

    Training on how to build and vote for sustainable government policies is fundamentally important to healthy democracies. Every voter should be able to take this responsibility as a high priority – and understanding that their vote will lead to successful economies and Good Lives.

    Think-tank CSQ Research, provides Certification Programs and courseware for this training at CSQ1.org. Common Sense 101 is an example sixteen-week semester long high-school course that teaches teens how to vote for sustainable policies and prosperity in any economy based on scientific method alone.

    Resources at CSQ Research are designed to teach and monitor research-proven sustainable policy transparently - so that anyone can validate our findings before accepting any Proof. You will find this transparency obvious here in this book the same.

    Transition Economics Proofs (TEPs) are discussed in Chapter 4 and 5.

    Working Teams? The teams assigned to design and build sustainable policy include Political Parties and Civil Servants. Established businesses, investors, and entrepreneurs should also be men of parts – with ownership and roles to play in important social projects. Look for CSQ Certified Political Parties when you vote and for CSQ Certified Businesses when you purchase goods and services.

    Project Managers? Your Politician should be ensuring that Civil Service PMs are assigned to sustainability projects and are reporting progress transparently. Preferring to vote for well-credentialed social engineers and career project builders helps a lot, because Operational, Admin, Accounting, Small Business and Sales careers differ substantially from Enterprise Project Leadership careers.

    Timelines? We are presently in a Mature Capitalism. In fact, we are ten years into our most recent Great Depression, the Great Recession, without yet resetting economic opportunity sustainably. More wars have waged in this decade than at any other time since 1640 and Currency Wars have advanced to Trade Wars. This means that immediate correction to avert a global war must come immediately; as soon as possible.

    Goals? A strong Social Contract (Good Lives and the American Dream), sustainable and prosperous economies which afford the things we need with strong opportunity, unprecedented human rights, and freedoms. Internationally, this design should build a sustainable World Peace
