A closer look
While auditing a British factory during WWI, engineer Clifford Hugh Douglas noticed a disturbing math glitch: the total wages paid to workers were significantly less than the total costs of the goods they produced. He realized the system mathematically guarantees mass debt because consumers literally cannot afford to buy back the fruits of their own labor. His solution was "Social Credit," demanding a universal national dividend to bridge the gap. Naturally, mainstream economists dismissed him as a crank, preferring the lucrative solution of drowning the working class in debt.
