"A wave of recently matured technologies have created a hitherto unthinkable possibility: Namely to manufacture, generate or grow locally, in a neighborhood, or a village, (i.e. without transportation) a majority (appr.80%) of the products needed for a fulfilling, enjoyable, indeed a truly modern life."

THE NW ECONOMY IN 10 POINTS.

1. EVERYBODY WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO MEANINGFUL AND SELF-DEVELOPING WORK. IT WILL BE AVAILABLE INSTANTLY, FOR EVERYONE THROUGH THE CENTERS FOR NEW WORK. THEY WILL OFFER INSTRUCTION, AND TOOLS, AND OTHER SUPPORT FOR ALL WHO WANT TO BECOME MORE SELF-PROVIDING.

2. THE DOWN AND LOW WILL NOT ONLY BE FED AND CLOTHED. THEY WILL BE ON THEIR WAY UP TO A PLEASURABLE, AND FULFILLING LIFE. HTSP WILL ASSIST THEM OUT OF THE POVERTY OF THEIR DESIRES. THEY WILL BECOME STRONG AND ALSO LEARN MANY SKILLS. THIS WE KNOW FROM A GREAT NUMBER OF EXAMPLES.

3. FROM THE BEGINNING IT WAS ONE OF THE MAJOR AIMS OF NEW WORK TO REDUCE THE TOIL NEEDED TO ACHIEVE THE REQUISITES FOR A PLEASURABLE AND FULFILLING LIFE. WE HAVE ASSEMBLED TECHNOLOGIES
THAT HAVE THE CAPACITY TO REDUCE THIS NEEDED TOIL SO THAT ONE DAY A WEEK WILL SUFFICE. (ONE DAY OF JOB-WORK; THERE ALSO HAS TO BE ONE DAY OF HTSP.)

4. THE COERCION TO ACCELERATE THE ECONOMY ABATES. AS MORE PEOPLE SPEND MORE ENERGY ON HTSP THE NEED FOR JOBS WILL DIMINISH. ONE GOES UP, THE OTHER COMES DOWN.

5. THE HUMAN NIAGRA RESOURCE: MOST PEOPLE HAVE BETWEEN 3 AND 5 DAYS A WEEK FREE FOR WRRW. MANY WILL WANT TO DO CREATIVE, HELPFUL AND USEFUL THINGS. (MANY OF THEM WILL MAKE MONEY WITH THIS WORK, BUT A GREAT NUMBER WILL RECEIVE FELLOWSHIPS.) THE TASKS THAT COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH THIS WORK IS IMMENSE – IT WOULD BE ENOUGH TO CHANGE THE QUALITY OF EVERYONE’S LIFE.

6. RELATED TO THE NIAGRA RESOURCE BUT DISTINCT FROM IT IS THE CREATIVITY JET-STREAM. THROUGHOUT HISTORY THERE HAVE BEEN ASTONISHING BURSTS OF CREATIVITY. VERY OFTEN THESE OCCURED BECAUSE THE MEMBERS OF A GROUP WERE ABLE TO WORK WITH GREAT FREEDOM ON SOMETHING THEY LOVED. THIS IS HOW THE INTERNET WAS CREATED. MANY OF THE MOST TALENTED HAVE NOW LEFT THE „NEW ECONOMY“. NEW WORK IS HELPING THEM TO CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER, AND TO WORK WITH GREAT FREEDOM ON SOMETHING THEY LOVE. THE RESULT COULD BE A PERMANENT STREAM – A JET-STREAM – OF CREATIVE BURSTS.

7. THE STATE: MANY TRADITIONAL TASKS OF THE STATE WILL BE RENDERED UNNECESSARY THROUGH HTSP. (MOST OF THOSE FORMERLY COMPRISED IN THE SOCIAL SAFETY NET.) THE LARGEST NEW TASKS WILL BE THE ENCOURAGING OF HTSP AND OF WRRW.

8. TAXES: NO TAXES WILL BE LEVIED ON INCOME EARNED THROUGH WORK. ALL OTHER FORMS OF INCOME WILL BE TAXED. THIS INCLUDES PROFITS FROM INVESTMENTS IN SHARES OR IN REAL ESTATE, WINDFALLS OF EVEFRY
SORT AND INHERITANCES.

9. TWO DAYS A WEEK FOR HTSP AND JOB-WORK, THE ENTIRE REST OF THE WEEK FOR WRRW, I.E. FOR DEVELOPMENT BEYOND SELF PROVIDING TOWARDS AN EXUBERANT, SPLENDID, AND FLAMBOYANT LIFE.

10. ONE NEXT MAJOR STEP IS A POLICY REORIENTATION: MONIES CURRENTLY SPENT ON SUBVENTIONS SHOULD BE SPENT ON CREATING THE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR WRRW AND FOR HTSP. SECOND MAJOR STEP IS THE ESTABLSIHMENT OF FELLOWSHIPS TO SUPPORT WRRW.

• The term New Work is very often considered an umbrella for all three concepts - New Economy, New Work, New Culture.  It is suggested to begin with the page About New Work for an overview.
