Economics is the social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. The term economics comes from the Greek for oikos (house) and nomos (custom or law), hence "rules of the house(hold)."

Modern economics developed out of the broader field of political economy in the late 19th century, owing to a desire to use an empirical approach more akin to the physical sciences. A definition that captures much of modern economics is that of Lionel Robbins in a 1932 essay: "the science which studies human behavior as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses."

Scarcity means that available resources are insufficient to satisfy all wants and needs. Absent scarcity and alternative uses of available resources, there is no economic problem. The subject thus defined involves the study of choices as they are affected by incentives and resources.

VISION Statement and Purpose:

Business is based on true free-market values and natural law, not managed and manipulated economies such as we have today. Business is the economic engine to change the world, for better or for worse, depending on our choices. Everything you buy is a vote for that product. Your money is your vote.

Whenever possible choose debt-free, gold, silver and commodity-backed exchange systems that create true economies of, by and for the people, instead of global casino operations run by legally sanctioned criminal syndicates (i.e., privatized governments, transnational corporations and central banking systems).

Deregulate the banking cartel and create competitive monetary systems based on free-market choices. Eliminate all income tax and protectionist schemes that penalize productivity. Restore freedom and liberty.

"You can never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."  - R. Buckminster Fuller

Most people have the innate ability to combine their native intelligence with available resources to produce something of value to exchange with others. So what is the nature of a sustainable and just economy? What do we really want? What do we really need? What are we willing to pay money for and what can we receive in exchange or for free?

The most important question of all is what are we willing to produce, or how will we serve and give? This ability to produce is the basis for all wealth generation and sound business practice as well. Take notice of the abundance of the universe and the opportunities existing everywhere. Access your wealth-building ability and power within.

What is bought and sold informs us about our personal and social values.

1. Do not allow your desires and values to be manipulated by marketing and advertisers.
2. Lighten your consumption and live sustainably.
3. Live simply that others may simply live.
4. Do not be distracted by shallow materialism that takes you away from self, family, community and soul. Not all that glitters is gold.
5. Always produce more than you consume and your survival and those of others around you is assured.
6. Tithe at least 10% of your efforts to those in need.
