This quote from Pope Benedict XVI, taken from his encyclical letter Deus Caritas Est (God is love), will be the theme of our International Congress this year in Rougemont, September 2-4, 2006. Since we are all children of the same God, all human beings are our brothers and sisters, and we should care when many of them suffer from hunger, and even starve to death, in a world where there is enough food to feed all people.
In the same encyclical, the Pope adds that "the aim of a just social order is to guarantee to each person, according to the principle of subsidiarity, his share of the community's goods." This would be achieved so well by the Social Credit dividend to all, which would respect the dignity of the human person created in the image of God. (See article pages 2-3.)
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
