Preface
Encapsulated within the shell of the seed coat is the theory of economics. It has set there for ages and is in direct contact with the earth and the earthly conditions. Those seeds that were not viable succumbed to the oxidizing forces of the earth. Among the viable seeds there were two kinds remaining: the weeds, and the true seeds of economic science. We want to discard the weed seeds and we want to understand the organism of true economic science, as set forth in the divine economy theory.
Activation
We will start by asking the question: What would it take to bring together the theory and the reality of the economy? The answer lies in a process similar to germination, a process which has been activated by the great forces at play in the world right now. Knowledge in the garb of newness perceptibly exists. It attracts our attention because we are remarkably entrepreneurial in spirit. At that instant a new germ begins to grow and the vital process within it has an inherent nature that transforms itself and its surroundings. Then this new and transformed knowledge of reality finds its way into theory, hence there is a union here between theory and reality.
How can our current plight and the past plight of humanity be reconciled with the human potential for good? Of course no one thinks that humans are perfect. Errors and mistakes are clear signs of imperfection. However, relative perfection is possible and this degree of perfection occurs most readily when the flow of information is optimal. In our search for perfection each of us is attracted to those things that bring about human prosperity, which in essence is the equivalent of the ‘expression of oneself.’
