Dear All, 
In order to progress things as clearly and quickly as possible, this is a new thread directly addressing the issue of the CCMJ paradigm (or its understanding of reality).

1. Belief in God: God upholds the value of all individuals (and so reasonable income, housing etc. for everybody). NB. This directly challenges mainstream economics in many fundamental aspects.

2. Who or what creates the output of goods and services?: This is a physical matter (and the World Economic Forum, knowing the truth, laughs its head off at anybody who thinks differently). CCMJ members will need to clarify their position on this important matter.

3. Origin of money. There’s no problem here — CCMJ members know about pressing computer buttons to create money.

4. Interest: And they understand, and oppose, interest – or do they? Exactly what is it they understand? NB. In the UK, ‘usury’ means ‘excessive interest and not ‘interest.’

5. Stabilisation/reduction of population levels: The world is faced with huge problems of environ-mental destruction and resource depletion. So what does CCMJ say about this? NB If you think that labour creates all the output you presumably think that the larger the population, the better….)

5. Homo Economicus: And does CCMJ think homo economicus is an accurate assessment of human psychology? NB Homo economics is possibly even more fundamental to mainstream economics than its assertion that human labour creates all, or most, of the output of goods and services.

– It’s time for CCMJ to sort out its paradigm or the World Economic Forum – www.weforum.org – will do the sorting for it – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Economic_Forum
