What is the C.H. Douglas Institute?

HummingbirdThe C.H. Douglas Institute is a registered not-for-profit organization that is committed to furthering Social Credit education and facilitating Social Credit advocacy. ‘Social Credit’ being the name which is typically given to that coherent and cogent body of thought on social matters that was first developed in the early decades of the twentieth century by the brilliant Anglo-Scottish engineer, Major Clifford Hugh Douglas. On the one hand, the institute seeks to introduce the wider public to Douglas’ economic, political, and cultural ideas, while deepening the understanding of those who have already had some exposure to Social Credit. On the other hand, we wish to bolster the efforts of all those who have grasped the tremendous value and relevance of the Social Credit analysis and remedial proposals and who therefore wish to work for the establishment of a Social Credit commonwealth. This institute proposes to provide the necessary assistance by serving as a co-ordinating and resource centre for the wider Social Credit movement. Although based in the province of Ontario, Canada, we are keenly interested in assisting all suitably motivated individuals and groups, wherever they may be, in their endeavour to bring their respective societies into greater alignment with Social Credit principles.

Consumer control of production is the only basis of freedom; and no method of obtaining consumer control has ever been tried with success which did not ban state control of money and credit and include decentralised individual credit power.

  • Debt Finance and the Apocalyptic Propensity
    "Given the foregoing analysis, one may well be inclined to think that at least a fewapocalyptic narratives are deliberate psychological operations designed to demoralize,terrorize and ultimately subjugate the public. Nonetheless, they cater to a genuinepsychological need - the need for an explanation for the sense of foreboding and uneasethat so many feel. Thus, in order to drive these doomsday dogmas out of the minds ofmen, it is not sufficient to simply expose and discredit them: it is necessary to constructan alternative narrative that meets the psychological need, but also provides somethingthey cannot: hope.""It is here that Douglas Social Credit becomes invaluable as the Trinitarian solutionthat explains our predicament, exposes the apocalyptic narratives and expounds analternative worthy of a species whose members are meant for more than to merely live infear and die in pain."

  • The Accounting of Abundance: A Structural Critique of Inflationary Theory
    Mainstream economic thought treats inflation as a phenomenon of monetary volume—the "Too Much Money" paradigm. However, by applying the engineering logic of C.H. Douglas’s A+B Theorem, we can deduce that inflation is not primarily a result of consumer behaviour, but a mathematical consequence of debt-based cost accounting in an industrial society.

  • A Douglas Social Credit Critique of Gesell’s Monetary Analysis and Proposals
    Silvio Gesell believed that the two great economic evils were stagnation and inequality. He attributed stagnation to hoarding (the “retention” of money that slows circulation) and inequality to both hoarding and the payment of interest on money. His remedies were therefore twofold: demurrage (a carrying charge that makes money lose value if held, forcing it into rapid circulation) and interest-free credit. From a Douglas Social Credit standpoint, Gesell’s take on monetary reform rests on a fundamentally flawed diagnosis and thus the remedies he proscribes are inadequate, in addition to being coercive and counterproductive.
