Construction Industry
Everyone actively involved in the work process or who is entitled to the benefits of the system for other reasons has the right to live in appropriate accommodation.
Appropriate accommodation would be based on the size of the family and certain choices available to the future occupants of the house or flat.
The size of the house or flat would be standardised but with certain variations to accommodate for the different tastes of people. Some of the choices would be whether people want to live in the town or countryside or whether they want a flat or a house, but people would have to live fairly close to their work place for environmental reasons. People could also elect to have a holiday home if they would agree to have a smaller main residence.
All houses would become energy efficient over time and all new houses would fit reasonable environmental needs. One could visualise open plan park like areas with houses randomly placed upon it. The houses would not border upon each other but would have small areas around them for growing vegetables is so desired.
In a transition period people could stay in their houses or flats if they choose to do so. People could leave their properties to their children to make sure that occupants look after their dwelling appropriately.
The construction industry would be set up to build and maintain the houses and flats which the people are entitled to. The companies doing the construction and maintenance would be organised for resource efficiency and effectiveness.
Resources would be better utilised than now and the transparency of the market would take the slack out of the present construction industry.
Car Industry:
If money is taken out of the system pricing and brand image would no longer play a role in competition. Consumers would only be interested in cars which cater for their needs and preferences, which are safe and environmentally friendly.
Manufacturers would look for resource efficiency and environmental friendliness. As a result the offer of car types on the market would be dramatically reduced to the following four as mentioned in section one above:
- compact car
- compact SUV
- saloon car
- sports car
The different makes would be merged into one, the number of plants would be reduced to capture available economies of scale and the number of suppliers and distributors and service points would be cut back. As a starting point we would suggest two suppliers for each part and component of an automobile and the distribution points would be set up to achieve both customer proximity and economies of scale.

More on My economics Theory (see blog)Money based system as benchmark
Money is used to quantify demand and offer which is brought into balance by the invisible hand of the market. Profit opportunities arise when demand is higher than offer, prices will go up, profits will increase, which will in turn attract additional investments.
Money is also used to quantify and optimize
- sourcing decisions
- make or buy decisions
- decisions on the optimal size of production and service
- location for production
- methodology of production
Money is instrumental in expressing the value of exports and imports and in bringing them into an equilibrium over time.
Money is a major incentive for rewarding workers and suppliers and also customers.
All of these functions have to be replaced by something other than money in the proposed new system. Initial ideas to that end are
- carefully designed planning systems, which are as close to the consumer as feasible and which fully incorporate environmental considerations
- equal remuneration and sufficient provision for the needy, which will create a feeling . of happiness and satisfaction for most and will incentivize workers to do their best
at work.
In the longer term planning of production levels, offer can be based on last year’s demand and macro- and micro economic changes envisaged. Adjustments based on the better education of consumers can be made.
In the shorter term planning, inventory levels will be observed and production will be increased or reduced accordingly, on a monthly or quarterly basis as appropriate.
Productivity measurements between different production locations either existing or planned will be used to optimize production effectiveness and efficiency and to make or buy, location and optimal size decisions.

New Economics System (Incentivisation)
- A market based economy focuses on profit making opportunities. Entrepeneurs see chances to develop some new products or services and exploit them. They expect to meet consumer demands at costs which are lower than their revenues.
Such profit opportunity is no longer available in a moneyless system. The invisible hand of the market has to be replaced by a central planning system, which needs to be as close to the consumer as possible.
The monstrum of a country-wide planning system has to be carefully avoided. The focus has to be on
- the well-being of the individual,. of the family, of the local community and of the nation at large.
The resources have to be utilized efficiently and effectively to maximise the achievable output for the benefit of all consumers. At the same time, the sustainability of all activities necessary for the running of the system has to be maintained.
As everyone is entitled to all goods and services within reason and availability a fair sharing of all goods and services within a happy and healthy environment is paramount to the system.
The incentivisation has to be initiated by and led by those people who are independent of material things and who exercise a certain generosity of nature. And also by people whose value system is other than the one we are brainwashed into having in the present system. Love for oneself, for others and for the planet and consideration towards Mother Nature’s desperate attempt to feed us all would be good starting points.
Also, like it or not, an appreciation of the Divine assures the survival of this system, as it does of any system
However, these are very wide guide posts and they need to be filtered down into every day decision making.
And in any case we could always say to ourselves, ‘well for fuck’s sake it’s better than what was going on before and at least I can have not only everything I need, but everything I want within reason, and also keep myself reasonably happy’
Any bone of contention as to who has what of a currently limited product is settled by twenty-four hours of arbitration. If this does not succeed no-one has the product.
