There can never be a point when human development is totally satisfied. Development continues without end. For this reason the two curves can never be seen as isolated from each other. The credits must always be focused on increasing humanity's potential for a greater population density with an increased quality of life. It is essential that society provides these credits to itself freely, with no financial profit demands attached. Development credits are designed to increase the society's self-development, rather than financial consideration becoming a burden that hinders its self-development.

Our modern monetarism is build on a different, and therefore defective, platform. On this platform, which is essentially a feudal platform, financial credits are issued with a debt burden attached that effectively hinders human development while it creates financial empires that are drawing society's investment resources away from its physical economy, thereby starving it, and society as a consequence.



Today's IMF supported world-financial system, is such a counteracting system that isolates financial resources into speculative bubbles which strangle not only any ongoing development, but also strangle the economic process itself. By its fundamental platform the IMF system operates totally contrary to the real principle of economics.


The machine-tool element of the principle of economics.

It must be understood that there is more to the principle of economics, however, than can be described in terms of financing in order to create physical output. Money, itself, doesn't produce anything. The modern economy is build upon layers and layers of infrastructures. The modern economy requires transportation infrastructures, such as highways, bridges, railways, canals, and so forth. A modern economy also requires an industrial infrastructure which produces the economic machine, like tractors, tillers, elevators, water pipes, automobiles, ships, refrigerators, clothing, shoes, and a whole range of other products. Except, who produces the machines that lie at the heart of the industrial infrastructure of a nation? The requirements of a modern economy cannot be met with hand-powered equipment. It is impossible, for instance, to built railway locomotives, grain cars, ships, or even consumer appliances, without a vast array of machinery, which are technically speaking, powered tools, that we call machine-tools. Of course, in order to create the required machine tools, a modern economy must absolutely have a strong and highly developed machine-tool industry. Without the machine-tool industry an industrial infrastructure cannot exist, and without an industrial infrastructure, modern civilization cannot exist. A society needs industrially produced goods to support its transportation system, its farming, its housing, its production of clothing, medicine, books, etc, and its food distribution system. In other words, without a strong machine-tool industry at the very foundation of a modern economy, there exists no economy. It is as simple as that.

Human civilization is build on the use of tools, and on the building of these tools. In the modern world the tools of the economy are undeniably machine-tools. Strategically directed financial credits must assure that the machine- tool industry, on which so much depends, is prosperous and viable. Few people realize that this industry is actually more vital to a nation than its farming industry, because the farming industry depends on industrial products, which in turn, the nation depends on for its existence. The machine tool industry is without a doubt the main driver that has enabled the large increases in the potential population density that has been achieved during this century.


The energy element, of the principle of economics.

One must consider this element as major element, which will in the near future become the most important element of the principle of economics. The production of energy, not human muscle, powers the economic machine of a modern economy. Even in ancient times people have found it expedient to utilize animal power for economic processes, such a oxen to pull a plow, or a cart, or horses to provide transportation. We still measure our modern industrial engines in terms of "horsepower" produced, like the engines of cars, for instance. The expediency of applying produced energy to the economic processes, has been established quite early in human development. Nor has this process been abandoned. If fact it has been evermore intensively implemented throughout the whole of human development. Today's economy requires a truly huge amount of energy input to power the economic engines. Every facet of modern life is linked to energy intensive processes, and this for good reason. The use of energy has given us vast freedoms, the freedom to move, the freedom to create comfort in our home, the freedom to build things which can never be built with human hands. It has been discovered by Lyndon LaRouche that there exists a direct correlation between the energy utilization within a given area, and the potential population density that is being created.
