On Immigration
Dear Mr Randall
On re-reading your column of 8th September 2006, re the business
debate on
immigration, I am struck by our failure to focus on the cause of
the
problem. Which is the absence of economic wisdom in the countries
of origin.
If the truth were known, that absence of economic wisdom, is rife
here in
Great Britain, in the USA and through out Europe. If we disciplined
ourselves to analyse what will force into exile all those thousands
of
Rumanians and Bulgarians, we find a hole in our knowledge. If we
knew and
understood, it would be child's play to solve the whole problem
of
immigration and create or rather re-create prosperity in Romania,
Bulgaria,
China, Indonesia etc,etc,etc.
Facts we seem unable to observe are as follows. Poverty is a man-made
condition that does not exist in the ‘wild’. Poverty is
a shortage or even
an absence of money.
Money is man made stuff and does not exist in the ‘wild’.
We have as much
money or as little money as we decide. It is not decided by God
or by anyone
else other than ourselves. We allow ourselves to permit poverty
in the World
and actually create poverty and also permit individuals and Nations
to go
short of money and create mountains of minus money.
For example the USA does not actually know how many trillions of
dollars it
is in debt. The absurdity of economics in the world today is as
you would
say risible. The reason for that absurdity is even more risible
than global
economics, 2006.
I defy you personally, to give me a scientifically accurate definition
or
the word money or find such a definition in any text extant in the
world
today. You will regard such an accusation as so absurd, as to be
ignored.
And there it is, the actual cause of the problem of immigration.
Totally
ridiculous, but true.
Maynard Keynes has possibly had a greater influence on economics,
as is, in
the world today, than any other. Poor chap had no idea as to the
meaning of
the word money, no idea at all and yet he is revered the world over.
Think on these things if you dare. No one else is daring.
