From an Address of Pope Pius XII, July, 1952:
"It is as if everything had conspired to make it more difficult and even impossible for Christians to preserve their personal dignity.
"The technique and industry of advertising, of propaganda, of the wireless and the cinema, allow the mind scarcely any repose. From the first, they bar the entrance to any inner recollections. A type of person comes into being who cannot bear to be alone, even an hour with himself, or with his God.
“Industrialization, which surrenders the individual to work and industry, is obtruding its methods upon agriculture.
“Social life is characterized by the highly complex dependence of individuals, and the individual family, upon public authority, upon technical economic and social controls, upon centralization and organization. City life determines, ever more relentlessly, the form of human existence, the individual-being unendingly swallowed up by the mass.
"The deep tragedy of this development lies in the fact that it has its full effects just at the moment when philosophers of a purely materialistic stamp, knowing well what they are about, desire to destroy human personality and to make the individual an element in the mass, for which end they ruthlessly exploit every technical and socio-economic situation for their own ends."
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.
Reflections of African bishops and priests after our weeks of study in Rougemont, Canada, on Economic Democracy, 2008-2018
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
