Transforming Economics with Positive Thinking

Malthus was wrong. The planet's economic systems based on Malthusian principles of scarcity are a lie and a deception. This is one of the root causes behind the world's woes. If humanity learned the power of positive thinking we can eliminate war, famine, disease, oppression and the disparity between the wealthy ruling class and the poor working class.

Thomas Robert Malthus thought that the dangers of population growth would preclude endless progress towards a utopian society: "The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man".

Current world leaders teach that the, "First rule of economics is that there are limited resources and there are never enough goods or money to satisfy everyone." This is what Malthus declared at a time when there was barely a billion people on the planet. Now there are over 6 billion people with a majority living with access to resources that Malthus could not have imagined.

How could Malthus be so wrong? The simple truth is that he did not understand the very basic principle of innovation and Human ingenuity. Human's ability to discover the generalized operating principles of Universe and apply them in the creation of artifacts that do ever MORE with ever LESS physical resources is what Malthus did not understand and what the world political, financial and oil-wealth based tyrannies continue to perpetuate as the greatest deception Humanity has had to overcome.

Utopia or Oblivion: the Prospects for Humanity
By R. Buckminster Fuller

Why is Humanity taught to believe in this lie? It is because Humans react with fear and aggression when they think that there is not enough resources for everyone. Humans driven by fear of scarcity are easily controlled and organized into competing camps.
Nations, banks and oil companies who control access to the world's "limited" physical resources need to perpetuate the lie in order to secure their power base.
However, the real resource is and has always been intellectual attainment. Sometimes referred to as "mind over matter" or BRAIN POWER it is humans' ability to ever more with ever less physical resources, that is the ultimate power base.

Students have come to America for two centuries in order to gain the best education in the world. In the past, 90 percent have stayed and added to the intellectual resources of America, founded great innovative companies, and added to the power and success of our nation.

For example, consider the following entrepenuers who helped to build Silicon Valley:

• Andrew Grove, former Chairman and CEO Intel Corporation, born in Budapest, Hungary, graduated University of California, Berkeley.
• Pierre Omidyar, founder and Chairman, eBay, born in Paris, France to Iranian immigrant parents, graduated from Tufts University, net worth $5.5 Billion.
• Salar Kamangar, CEO of YouTube, created the company's first business plan, born in Tehran, Iran, graduated from Stanford University.
• Sergey Mikhaylovich Brin, Google founder, born in Moscow, graduated from Stanford University, net worth $15 Billion.
• Jerry Yang, Yahoo co-founder, born in Taiwan, graduated from Stanford University, net worth $1.15 Billion.

The 1999 report Silicon Valley's New Immigrant Entrepreneurs "finds that immigrants account for one-third of the scientific and engineering workforce in Silicon Valley and that Indian or Chinese Chief Executive Officers are running one-fourth of all of the high-technology firms in the region."

These entrepeneurs created vast information enterprises from nothing. These companies now influence the entire world. This is the proof that BRAIN POWER is limitless and that the power of the earth to provide subsistence for humanity is boundless.
