Bankruptcy 1995 by Harry Figgie.We need to apply business dynamics to defeat the enemy - business dynamics backed by superior legal strategies. The legal strategies are covered in Freedom Step #12.
The first thing to consider is that we can create a free-enterprise economic sector that has the potential to replace both the public and private sector. (Of course, parts of the public and private sectors could simply shift into the free-enterprise sector by abandoning coercion.)
We distinguish three economic sectors: the public sector, the private sector, and the free-enterprise sector. The public sector operates on the principle of coercion: the force of the gun. The private sector mixes coercion and freedom - politics and business. People in the private sector enjoy a modicum of freedom. However, they obey, bribe, and finance the freedom-violators of the public sector. They often obtain special privileges such as monopoly licenses, subsidies, tariff protection, and welfare from the freedom-violators. People in the free-enterprise sector practice real, true, or pure free enterprise. Terra Libra (also known as the Free World Order) is the free-enterprise sector of the world.
The second thing to consider is that the free-enterprise sector enjoys huge advantages over the other sectors. (Currently there is a major disadvantage in that people in the public and private sectors generally try to kill the free enterprise sector. But in Freedom Step #12 we'll see that in America very powerful legal means are available to prevent those in the public and private sectors from killing the free-enterprise sector.) The free-enterprise sector is potentially vastly more profitable than the other two sectors. We can exploit this potential to bring about a huge shift of resources from the public and private sectors to the free-enterprise sector - and some of us will make fortunes in the process.
The third thing to consider is that the public and private sectors could
suddenly collapse. The US$ (and some other currencies) have been gradually
collapsing for decades. But a sudden financial panic could completely wipe out
most paper currencies within a week or so. This could bring major economies to
a virtual standstill. Such a scenario has been described in the book
Bankruptcy 1995 by Harry Figgie.
If enough alternatives are created ahead of time, maybe a "soft landing" can be engineered. We particularly need alternatives in currencies, banking, energy, utilities, agriculture, defense, and education. Such alternative institutions are covered in Freedom Step #13, except for militia, for which see Freedom Step #9.
The fourth thing to consider is that if you work in the public or private sector, or even own and run a private-sector business, your means of survival could be wiped out almost overnight during a currency crisis. Furthermore, all financial instruments denominated in paper currencies (such as the US$) - like insurance policies, retirement funds, government securities, and shares - could be wiped out almost overnight.
However, if you immediately start operating some of your economic activities in the free-enterprise sector - even if on a small scale initially - you can begin to prepare for the coming bust in the public and private sectors and the boom in the free-enterprise sector. And if you play a leading role in the new free-enterprise sector, you can position yourself to make a fortune.
And how do you position yourself? Well, you learn as much as you can about practical freedom. You find some economic activity you can perform, or participate in, in the free-enterprise sector. You start using the alternative institutions already available, like alternative banking. You form networks with others in the free-enterprise sector. Learn all you need to about business and marketing. Learn how to defend a free-enterprise business against attacks from the public sector.
