Most people have heard of Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977), probably the most popular screen comic of all times with his character of the tramp that captivated audiences all over the world. But did you know that Chaplin was in favor of Douglas's Social Credit? He mentioned it himself in his autobiography, published in 1964:
"During the filming of City Lights, the stock market crashed. Fortunately, I was not involved because I had read Major C. H. Douglas's Social Credit, which analysed and diagrammed our economic system... I was so impressed with his theory that in 1928, I sold all my stocks and bonds, and kept my capital fluid."
On another page, Chaplin wrote: "I was discussing Major Douglas's book, Economic Democracy, and said how aptly his credit theory might solve the present world crisis."
In this special issue of the journal, MICHAEL, the reader will discover who are the true rulers of the world. We discuss that the current monetary system is a mechanism to control populations. The reader will come to understand that "crises" are created and that when governments attempt to get out of the grip of financial tyranny wars are waged.
An Efficient Financial System, written by Louis Even, is for the reader who has some understanding of the Douglas Social Credit monetary reform principles. Technical aspects and applications are discussed in short chapters dedicated to the three propositions, how equilibrium between prices and purchasing power can be achieved, the financing of private and public production, how a Social Dividend would be financed, and, finally, what would become of taxes under a Douglas Social Credit economy. Study this publication to better grasp the practical application of Douglas' work.

The Social Dividend is one of three principles that comprise the Social Credit monetary reform which is the topic of this booklet. The Social Dividend is an income granted to each citizen from cradle to grave, with- out condition, regardless of employment status.Rougemont Quebec Monthly Meetings
