When this capital bears fruit it must bring its owners an income without taking away the reward of those who have mobilized the capital, the labour force.
Yes! Every member of this generation is a co-owner of the cultural heritage that was handed down to us by previous generations. Improvements were made from generation to generation; inventions followed one another, each serving as a stepping stone to the next.
Applied science remains the greatest and most important factor in modern production. No one alive today can say: “This all belongs to me. I am the one who invented the wheel and the crowbar. I discovered how to make electricity from waterfalls. I engineered the internal combustion engine and now we have cars and airplanes. It is I who harnessed chemistry for the service of industry”. No, these advances were developed by generations of researchers, inventors, engineers and craftsmen. Natural resources and progress do not belong to any one man. We are the equal co-heirs of past generations. They are everyone’s heritage.

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.

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.
