Religion Economy and the Global Nominal Society

Prasad Rao #Honest2God, I am an Energy, Environmental and Mineral Economist. Factually! Print a PDF Introduction The Nominal paradigm is ever so incestuously twined with Technology and Politics, that not many perceive how it interacts with another behemoth from times immemorial – Religion. If Politics is the art of leveraging People's Private Preferences to rule on their behalf, Religion is the science of manipulating Public Conscience. Religion as an institution has existed and evolved for millenia. Today, and notwithstanding the Non-Denominational, ND group, Religion holds sway over an overwhelming majority in the peoples of various societies. Its history is as much interspersed with religious institutions, awe-inspiring structures and grand festivals, as it is marked by acts of violence, wars, and cruel torture. Religion, in its role as either a friend or foe of the Royalty , has influenced political rule in various continents for centuries. In fact, Religion verily shaped t...

Icing on the Cake : A Cause Currency Route to Pareto Global Trade, an Expedient Solution to Trade Externalities, plus …………..What ?!

Icing on the Cake : A Cause Currency Route to Pareto Global Trade, an Expedient Solution to Trade Externalities, plus …………..What ?! GangaPrasad Rao  Energy, Environmental and Mineral Economist gprao64.blogspot.com; gprasadrao.blogspot.com Disclaimer : If the Earth is flat, this proposal is a full circle ! Click here for a pdf of the manuscript. Introduction Trade and Globalization – the sacred growth mantra of many a Nation-Society - has transformed the global economy. The Nominal economic paradigm, endowed with Competition-ZS Capital, has expanded its financial, and production reach to the distant shores of the world. This expansion of input and output markets was as much facilitated by the global flow of capital, and rent seeking-motivated search for factor advantages, as it was by the emergence of a democratically-elected political government empowered to represent its people in negotiations with capitalists. Multi-lateral Trade exploits relative input-factor advantages across j...

GangaPrasad Rao Energy, Environmental and Mineral Economist gprasadrao@hotmail.com gprao64.blogspot.com gprasadrao.blogspot.com Disclaimer : …..so I proclaim, and so shall the world be ! 1 Click here to browse or download the entire pdf manuscript Introduction If the Nominal paradigm leverages, on one hand, technology and capital-owning investors, with political coordination of the middle-class pool of labor, to pursue a growth-based economy, the same is obtained at the price of growing an inequitable, per-capita society, generating diffused SESH externalities and exploiting the Commons globally. Such externalities are the outcome of market-coordinated flow of nominal capital as part of a globalization of nominal economic activity across competing nations. The political imperative to perpetually obtain employment opportunities, and economic growth, induces governments to out-compete each other in accommodating externalit...

Fax the Corporate Tax …… Avert Regulatory-, Social- and Fiscal Capture ! (Psst: Dangereux !)

Fax the Corporate Tax …… Avert Regulatory-, Social- and Fiscal Capture ! (Psst: Dangereux !) GangaPrasad Rao Energy, Environmental and Mineral Economist gprasadrao@hotmail.com gprasadrao.blogspot.com gprao64.blogspot.com Disclaimer: Dangereux ! Click here for the pdf Introduction Macro- and Regulatory Economics are not exactly close cousins. One dwells on the operation and administration of entire economies by designing optimal fiscal and monetary policies that foster a larger, globally-competitive, nominal economic paradigm; the other seeks to contain the concentrated and diffused social, environmental, safety and health externalities caused by real-immeserizing, profit-seeking firms in globalized nominal capital markets while ensuring a low-cost and efficient pathway for businesses to achie ve long-run sustainability. And though there seems hardly an overlap, it is the stimulation of the nominal economic paradigm by means of unbalanced fiscal and monetary policies that engen...
