Digital Currency, Crypto, DeFi
Digital or crypto currencies will not survive in their current form. Like the system that cryptocurrencies were created with the best intentions to try and override, it is simply the belief that people have, or the way that people think about cryptocurrencies today that appear to make them work. The cryptocurrencies that you can buy … Continue reading Digital Currency, Crypto, DeFi
What we really need
Likely to be the most controversial part of Levelling Level, the following list that covers the food, goods and services that we actually need, will look and sound alien to many reading the contents right now. However, what we need and what we want or believe that we should have are two very different things. … Continue reading What we really need
Basic Clothing & Footwear
Perhaps one of the most challenging areas covering basic needs provision will be that of the supply of affordable shoes and clothing. If there is one area of industry that has been outsourced to other Countries more than any other, it will surely be the production of clothes and shoes. Whilst many today look scornfully … Continue reading Basic Clothing & Footwear
The Basic Standard: what everyone should have – and be able to afford to have
Change will define what we need, rather than everything being about what we want The point we shouldn’t miss is that a Financial and Systemic collapse of the kind where everything we know changes, will result in everyone having to share what is available. Access will not be based on what anyone can or cannot … Continue reading The Basic Standard: what everyone should have – and be able to afford to have

After all, if you are telling people what foods, goods and services are deemed essential to live, you are by the … Continue reading Essential Goods and Services
A Universal Basic Wage (UBW)
To bring parity or income equality to all, isn’t to ensure that everyone is being paid the same to do the same job. It is to ensure that the lowest paid are able to function self-sufficiently, without any kind of additional support. Attempting to define what the UBW would be in today’s terms is of … Continue reading A Universal Basic Wage (UBW)
The True Value of everything we buy or pay for
In the future, prices will reflect what they really cost to produce and get to you, with only an appropriate layer of profit added at the minimum number of stages of the supply chain that are necessary for any essential goods or service provision to reach you. For instance, you buy a loaf of bread … Continue reading The True Value of everything we buy or pay for
The Correction of Prices
It is important to not get hung up on the terminologies being used. Words have different meanings and different uses for different people, and in no industry or situation have so many esoteric terms been in use with the deliberate intent of suggesting that magicians are at work as there are today within the financial … Continue reading The Correction of Prices
