Summary

The undefined website discusses the impact of female economists on redefining capitalism, emphasizing that there is ample budget for healthcare, education, and other public services, and advocates for systemic changes to create a sustainable and equitable economy.

Abstract

The article from the undefined website titled "No Money? You Have Plenty of Money for Health Care and Education!" argues that the U.S. should heed the insights of female economists who are reshaping the global economy with a focus on sustainability and equality. It criticizes outdated perspectives, such as those of Judge Clarence, who the author suggests views women's roles narrowly. The piece highlights the work of Stephanie Kelton, who asserts that a country can afford to purchase anything for sale in its own currency, thereby challenging conventional views on government deficits. The author advocates for local economies, community-driven basic income, and the reduction of government control, suggesting that businesses should be held accountable for pollution and exploitation. The article calls for laws to ensure access to basic needs such as healthy food, water, shelter, healthcare, and future-proof education, while promoting the use of AI and systemic design to facilitate these changes. It concludes by encouraging readers to explore the contributions of eight female economists who are leading the redefinition of economics.

It emphasizes the importance of providing universal access to basic needs, including healthy food, water, shelter, healthcare, and education that is relevant to the rapidly changing world.
The author supports the "Use It or Lose It" concept to optimize resource allocation and encourage the construction of healthy, sustainable housing.
The article criticizes government overreach in micromanaging and suggests that officials should instead focus on creating laws that protect the environment and provide for the people.
It suggests that individuals should take personal responsibility for their health through lifestyle choices while also having access to hospital care when necessary.
The author encourages the adoption of new educational approaches, such as design thinking and systemic design, to prepare students for the complexities of the future.
The author, Desiree Driesenaar, positions herself as a credible voice in the field of economics, citing her credentials in biomimicry and the blue economy, and her affiliation with the think-and-do-tank Abundanism.

AMERICA

No Money? You Have Plenty of Money for Health Care and Education!

We’re not in the Middle Ages anymore!

Female Economists are changing the global economy super rapidly now. And I wish America would listen better to what they have to say. Or does your country really only consist of dinosaurs like Judge Clarence who think women are just child-bearers and they have to shut up?

Because his God in the year 0 wrote a book about it. Duhuh…

Women economists are redesigning capitalism right now. With care for the planet and all people. And I applaud them all!

Have a look at this wonderful woman.

Stephanie Kelton.

Her message: of course, there’s enough money for health care, education, roads, and all the other commons.

It’s all about looking at government deficits from another angle. Well, that’s what I do too. I’m a Wild Woman Writer after all. I turn everything upside down. Everything, really everything has another angle.

And it’s about time we find those… for a better world.

One sentence in her talk is very important though:

“A country can afford to buy whatever is for sale in its own currency.”

Local economies. In central systems, you have to stay within your own fiat currency to make it work. This looking from another angle toward government deficits.

In digital, decentralized, and distributed systems, you can find or create your own community and arrange a basic income for all. That’s the future, my friends. That’s definitely the future.

No more dependency on governments and central banks. We can do it by ourselves if they don’t do it for us!

What Can You Spend It On?

Please, people, don’t use the money you created on government officials. Unless it is for a course on how to stop micromanaging.

You should stop patronizing us, controlling us, and pampering us.

Your only task is to make fierce laws so businesses stop polluting, extracting, and exploiting. They should be forced by the government to keep their waste and pollution inside their own closed system. Be self-sufficient.

They’ve had time enough by now to change their business models!

Your other task is to give everybody and I mean really everybody open access to basic needs.

Healthy food. You can spend it on handing out free biochar so the transition to regenerative farming can be quickly made
Healthy water. You can spend it on research into how fast the sea levels are rising and where… You can also spend it on restoring the water cycles. With special care for the small water cycle of evaporation. Cities are full of green walls and roofs. Preventing heat stress and cooling the planet with evaporation
Healthy shelter. You can use AI to see how many of what kind of houses are needed in what area. You will make space when buildings are no longer needed or in a bad state. Use it or lose it. And you will make sure all houses built are healthy houses. Good indoor climate. Termite ventilation. Healthy materials, light, sound, and look and feel.

You will make one extra law: “Use It or Lose It!”

Health care. First of all, people will be responsible for their own health with lifestyle. Then there’s access to hospital care if they need it.
Future-proof education. You will not feed your kids some old shit. The world is changing too fast for that. You will use design thinking, and inspire them with all the new things that are out there. Systemic design. Complexity and entropy. Cluster economies in Maine. Economies of scope. Yucky materials. Etc. Etc.

Happy transitioning, my friends. And don’t forget to check out the other women economists in the story below too. We can definitely do more than have as many babies as you want us to have…
