This book provides a thought-provoking discussion with well-reasoned arguments, including insights on Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations in 1776, to the types of administration of economic principles from the beginning of mankind and throughout our history. Using a much broader scope of review, before and after Adam Smith’s ordained status as the Father of Economics / Capitalism which always leads to a form of social Darwinism. Economic principles unidentified per-say that were well understood by theocracies, kingdoms, dictatorships, secret societies, and other governments, past and present. Economic principles are not new, and history provides insights to what has happened and why we are so far afield of a Free and Open Market. Adam Smith’s false assumptions, in his fantasy of a free and open market, has led to a dynasty, controlling our economic system with collateral affects not in the best interest of the public at large. Which assumptions have left us in a travesty, of our own making as the market is neither open nor free?
The writer recognizes that what can be seen in plain sight is not esteem above insights of people credentialed in economics, science, or law, so he has provided a myriad of end notes from respected sources. There may be criticism of using history, history that to some is not relevant, but history demonstrates how we got here again, and it is nothing new to history.
Since Economic Science uses the word Science the writer addresses both science and religious truths. Clearly demonstrating that both science and religion are means to discovering truth but, are not the be all know all in an environment with so many unexplained anomalies. The incontrovertibility of math, science, religion, and all the subjects found in this life are trumped by the law of opposition in all things. The opposing arguments have compelling evidence, placing everything in a position of speculation, not truth. They work to the point of the unseen anomalies.
The failures of the world are explained in the lack of applying universal inborn attributes of goodness and kindness. These and other attributes of human decency apply to all scientific and religious outcomes. The lack of these universal attributes will in either case (science, religion or anything else) will be proven not to be in the interest of mankind.

Description
NOT THEIR
BROTHER’S KEEPER
The
Travesty of Economics
This
introduction is to tell in-part the end from the beginning. Is it rude to tell the tale of where man’s heart
can be found throughout the experiences of life? Is it unkind to point out that mankind on
their throne of intellect has many times overlooked the important reasons that
we are all alive? If it is, I must
confess that all that is contained herein are the results of forgetting the past,
and too often the present unclaimed desires of our hearts. I merely want to steer our thoughts toward the
light of remembrance of who we really are supposed to be and act
accordingly. Some may call it our
conscience, some the love of God, whatever you call this inborn gift of
universal attributes, no one can escape them, though some try to bury them. We need to listen to our hearts with real
intent or we might have a continuation of the travesty due to our own neglect. It is a long history from the earliest beginning
of the human family. So, hold on, you
may suffer whiplash going through the flashbacks of history and the fast
forwards up to our time in history.
What is
wrong with the twelve key elements of economics and it’s approximate 61
postulates, theorems, and assumptions? (See
Table 1). If we take just a slice of
history, a history that repeats itself, the results are enough to prove the
failure of economics as it only benefits a small percent of the whole of
humanity. For example, in the past 11
years in the USA there is no empirical evidence of economic laws and
regulations having value for nearly “80%”[i] of the people of the United States.
In some
form or another there has always been formally or informally a Law of Economics.
It always results in class, cast, haves
and have nots with the individuals that do the work used as slaves, indentured
servants, peasants, surfs, or the lower and middle classes. Our new infatuation with Neo-Feudalism, despite
our seemingly blatant blindness to its effects, is driving a wedge to
exacerbate the problems of class divides which is spawning civil unrest. This is being met with an equally destructive
alternative of sameness hiding under a cloak of socialism, purported equality calling
itself democracy. Money and power
grabber ideas by the few wanting it all their way and the rest of us under
their control. Do not stop here thinking
all is well in the USA, as you possibly might not have considered the facts of the
travesty being played out here and now with more trouble in the making.
Conversely, the laws of goodness
and happiness, to which I refer to as universal laws or attributes, have
empirical evidence of those laws’ implementation, neglect, or duplicitous use, all
in plain sight. There is no variation
from the start of man to the present.
Science or religion’s accomplishments are largely a result of
living by these laws. Their effect in many discoveries sanctions the results to
be in humanities best interest. Without
these attributes nothing good can come from science or religion. Findings or claims in either science or
religion opposing the best interests of humanity will come, despite the
finding’s short-term appeal, to the
eventual enslavement of mankind, not in the best interests of humanity.
