    Well that’s another Wikipedia rabbit hole I’m about to dive into

    But totally agree with your suspicions. From what I’ve read so far, the Catholicism link is from Christians who actually believed in the fact that the bible says to take care of each other, but I’m not fully ready to trust that. (Like you said though, this could be a product of its time)

    To me it really reads like something invented by a capitalist who knows that the system is unjust but is still devoted to it. Which, to be honest, I can respect, especially for the time period.

    That being said, in my limited understanding of it, it doesn’t sound all that bad? (definitely drop any religious connections). If I were to choose between the current system (in Canada/USA specifically), and this one, I might be willing to try it out.

    Maybe I could be brought around if someone can explain what it actually is.

    That’s for sure my issue. I’ve read a number of articles on it at this point and I’m still not grasping exactly what it is. Was really hoping someone here would be an expert on it lol




  • I’m not going to lie, I don’t fully understand it myself (partially why I’m asking about it lol), so don’t take my word on this but:

    My understanding is that the amount of money distributed throughout the country is directly tied to the value the country as a whole produces. It basically keeps the buying power equal to the production value.

    I’m unclear on how this would work when global trade is added to the mix though.
