Viewpoints

The authors, who are connected to one another through a constructive-critical proximity to Silvio Gesell's free economics theory , take a critical look at the neoclassical standard economy. In contrast to the neoclassical axiom , according to which money is neutral, they see precisely the non-neutrality of money as the main cause of the unjust distribution of income and wealth as well as the susceptibility of capitalist market economies to crisis. The journal has set itself the task of scientifically justifying the alternative economic idea of ​​neutralizing money and thus contributing to the development of the foundations of a not only free and efficient, but also just and peaceful economy. The magazine sees itself as an open forum for the search for the regulatory foundations of a " market economy without capitalism " in which the economy stabilizes, unearned income by overcoming the shortage of capital and thus of interest eliminated and the competition of mono- and oligopolistic Vermachtungen is freed .
