Humanism in Essence

A developed economy of a good society

Companies need to voluntarily merge regionally. All people will receive equally humanistic shares of the public properties, and those who own private properties will receive extra shares for them. I do not claim that it will be easy to accomplish, but there is no other way to a good society. Then will come even harder step, the one which will give the final answer to all the economic problems.

We need to develop the market of work. Each job should go to the worker who offers the highest work productivity, the lowest work price, and the highest work responsibility, at any time. When workers increase their productivities or produce benefits to society, they will be awarded higher incomes and an increased number of humanistic shares. If they do not meet their productivity offers or deliver damages to the community, they will pay the responsibility by lower incomes and losing the stocks they possess.

No economy could be better than the one where the best worker gets each job. Only such an economy could eliminate privileges and injustice. Only such an economy could solve social problems and create a good society.

All the people will directly create the macroeconomic policy of the region, among other things, by deciding how much money, from their incomes, they want to allocate for taxes. Also, people will directly determine how the tax money is going to be spent by assigning money to the groups of consumption they need more. That would be a democratically planned economy, the most rational and stable economy possible.

The new system will bring people closer to their nature and then, in some distant future, all individuals in the region might decide to allocate all their incomes for taxes. Then all goods and services will be paid for from the joined consumption budget and delivered to all of the people free of charge. That would form communism, the best society possible.

I wrote more about the new system in the following articles presenting the future of economics, democracy, and values. My book Humanism presents the bright future of humankind.
