A new book from Gregory Thain.  

World Economics,  Philosophy and Morality:-

A Clarion Call for Moral Capitalism in an Age of Extremes

In an era marked by unprecedented wealth disparity and a looming climate crisis, a new book challenges the very foundation of our economic and political systems. "Money, It's All About Money,  it should be about morality" by Gregory Thain, is a compelling critique of the current global order, where unchecked greed and the pursuit of profit at any cost have created a world teetering on the brink of social and environmental collapse.

Thain, a seasoned entrepreneur and global citizen, argues that the prevailing narrative of "greed is good" has led to a morally bankrupt system where the wealthiest 1% hoard nearly half of the world's wealth while billions struggle to survive. This stark inequality, he contends, is not only unjust but also unsustainable, threatening the very fabric of our societies.

“ Communism never worked and never will work but capitalism  is out of control. It needs  parameters within morality.”

The book delves deep into the historical roots of wealth accumulation, exposing the often-violent and exploitative practices that have shaped the current distribution of resources. From the colonial conquests of the past to the modern-day exploitation of cheap labor and natural resources, Thain reveals the dark underbelly of unchecked capitalism.

“ We have to understand that everything is moving quicker, everything is speeding up.   Changes that used to take hundreds of years are now taking 10 years or less. AI will speed this up further. We must improve the way we manage and govern ourselves.  The tools we use at the moment were built in a completely different universe.”

But "Money, It's All About Money" is not just a condemnation of the present; it's a bold vision for a better future. Thain calls for a "moral capitalism," a system that prioritizes the well-being of all over the enrichment of a few. He proposes concrete solutions for redistributing wealth, including:

• A wealth tax on the super-rich: Echoing the sentiments of economists like Thomas Piketty (author of "Capital in the Twenty-First Century"), who has extensively documented the historical trends of wealth concentration and advocated for progressive taxation to address inequality. 

• A progressive inheritance tax system: This aligns with calls from organizations like Oxfam, which have highlighted the growing role of inherited wealth in perpetuating inequality and advocated for policies to limit its concentration. 

• A universal basic income: A concept gaining traction in various countries, providing a financial safety net for all citizens and potentially mitigating the impact of automation and job displacement. 

• Limits on executive pay: Addressing the exorbitant salaries of CEOs and top executives, which contribute to the widening gap between the rich and the rest of society.

Thain's vision extends beyond economic reforms. He calls for a reimagined education system that fosters critical thinking, creativity, and a sense of social responsibility, preparing future generations for the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly changing world. He also addresses the transformative potential of technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), while cautioning against its misuse and advocating for ethical AI development.

The book concludes with a powerful call to action. Thain urges readers to become agents of change, to challenge the status quo, and to demand a more just and equitable world. 

“ We all have a lot more power than we think,  the world is driven by money and we can all together via the Internet, sanction those that do not take a moral approach to our future.”

Thain provides practical suggestions for engaging with politicians, corporations, and religious institutions, empowering individuals to make a difference.

"Money, It's All About Money, It should be about Morality" is a timely and essential read for anyone concerned about the future of our world. It is a powerful reminder that we are all interconnected and that the well-being of one depends on the well-being of all. By embracing a new morality and working towards a fairer society, we can create a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
