Social Credit Theory

Social Credit TheoryIn the “Social Credit Theory” section of this website, you will find an introduction to the basic Social Credit worldview and science of association, a series of questions and answers regarding various key elements of Social Credit thought, an archive composed of as many of C.H. Douglas’ books, articles, and addresses as have been made electronically available, an archive containing the writings of other, authoritative Social Credit expositors, and a set of links that are either directly or indirectly related to Social themes and concerns.

 

Social Credit is the policy of a philosophy. It is something based on what you profoundly believe – what at any rate, I profoundly believe, and hope you will – to be a portion of reality. It is probably a very small portion, but we have glimpsed a portion of reality, and that conception of reality is a philosophy, and the action that we take based upon that conception is a policy, and that policy is Social Credit.

  • Douglas Social Credit Through the Lens of Market Failure
    Recently, perhaps as a result of some interactions on social media, it has occurred to me that the best angle for approaching the Douglas Social Credit analysis and proposals for the benefit of those on the conventional right of the economic and political spectra is to frame Douglas’ stance in terms of the concept of market failure.

  • To Regulate or not to Regulate Retail Profit-Margins on Turnover? That is the Question!
    Recent events and discussions with both Douglas Social Crediters and others have brought the profit-regulation condition that was sometimes presented by Douglas as being part and parcel of the compensated price mechanism discount into focus. While some, following Douglas’ indications, have defended the profit-regulation mechanism as a necessary and/or important feature of the compensated price discount, others, including some seasoned Social Crediters, have objected to it as unnecessary and/or problematic for a variety of reasons. Rather than attempting to solve the problem or to resolve the dispute (which perhaps can only be properly decided definitively one way or the other by an empirical trial), I will aim to put the issue in context and to outline some of the main considerations both in favour and against the profit-regulation condition.
