Economic Proverbs for a sustainable future

• Only lend money if you have it to lend.
• Only create new money once it is backed by an asset
• Reward people for consuming less
• Require Rewards to be invested to create new resources
• Measure economic success by the productive assets we possess

These proverbs contrast with the way the world’s economic system is currently organised

• Lend money you do not have
• Create new money on a promise that you will get back more than you create
• Only give resources to those who have resources
• Reward the profligate by how much they consume
• Measure economic success by how much is consumed
