Building Utopia

Humanity has made plenty of progress. Yet we see plenty of problems. Have you ever wondered why?

Many of these problems are a direct result of the lack of money to do something; that is, scarcity of money. Scarcity of money is caused by the unfairness in our monetary system. The increasing wealth inequality is the main symptom of this monetary unfairness. Some problems continue to exist, at lesser intensity, due to insufficient social welfare systems.

To solve all these problems, we need to adopt an approach in which we think about how all things should be, rather than thinking about how to solve individual problems in isolation. That is, we need to adopt a holistic approach.

With a holistic approach, we can envision a society in which these problems cannot occur; because its monetary systems don't allow the monetary unfairness to ever occur, and its social welfare systems are fair and comprehensive. A society thus envisioned can be called an ideal society.

The word Utopia represents, in a single word, the idea of an ideal society.

This book, Building Utopia, presents a vision of an ideal society in great detail.

Utopia, an ideal society, is achievable when a majority of its citizens share a common vision of what "ideal" means for their society.

Building Utopia is available in three formats: as web pages on this website, as a paperback book, and as an Kindle eBook.

Utopian Financial Infrastructure

Utopian Financial Infrastructure introduces and describes a new financial infrastructure that is necessary to support and implement the ideas mentioned in Building Utopia.

But why? Our current financial system has evolved over several millennia, and it has accomplished many good things. But, it has many deficiencies. The current financial system is just not good enough to deal with the ideas mentioned in Building Utopia. The current system is not even close to achieving goodness. A few enhancements to our current financial system would not make it much better. The current financial system simply cannot serve as the financial infrastructure for an ideal society.

The Utopian Financial Infrastructure is about money, wealth, ownership and accurately accounting for it. From the perspective of "leading a good life", money or wealth is not the end in itself, they are just the means to an end. While money and wealth are not sufficient for us to lead a good life, they are necessary to enable us to have the good life that we seek. This book focuses more on these "means". Thus, we will discuss ideas like money, wealth, assets, ownership, transactions, payments, money transfer, etc.

Utopian Financial Infrastructure is available in three formats: as web pages on this website, as a paperback book, and as an Kindle eBook.
