I hope this author can forgive this huge intrusion, but this is important. One approach everyone leaves out is making an adjustment to the existing economic system as a system.

At present there is a political imperative to maximize total output because that is the only way to maximize employment, total income, and the amount of taxes collected. What if we could keep the same economic system (any nation's existing system), but have zero unemployment or poverty at any level of total output while eliminating using taxes and public debt to fund government (at all levels)? Not needing to maximize output would vastly reduce the pressure on the environment.

Revolutionary? Yes. Radical? No: it would still be the same economic system, functioning the same way it does at present. For instance, there would be no limit imposed on income/wealth. There would be no need to redistribute anything. Total output would be governed by demographics--and only that.

This is not socialism. It's not libertarianism. It's not any ideology (or theology): it is economics--and only that. It is 'only' a different way of supplying the existing economy (any existing economy) with money (as currency).

It isn't MMT. either. It can be thought of as a kind of permanent 'quantitative easing' for people and for funding government) because money is created without creating new debt), but this monetary paradigm has built-in protections against inflation.

In MMT there are no built-in protections against inflation. If inflation occurs, the central government must run a surplus by increasing taxes and/or cutting spending--by the correct amount. In some nations that might be a possibility, but we know that in the U.S. (and most nations) it is not.
