About the Book

Freedom from being starved into employment in order not to die of starvation is that last bastion to be overcome to regain the Paradise Lost. Freedom to work cannot be regarded as freedom, if "not working" is not also an option. Money is a medium of exchange. A person who is not in the market for anything that money can buy needs no money. He ought not be forced into employment just to pay for his food. A private enterprise can neither be private nor free under a government, which is not democratic, as it requires violent dictatorial powers to impose its ideas on its subjects. Western democracies, although claiming separation between the church and state, labor under the biblical injunction, that "man shall eat bread in the sweat of his brow' as a punishment for Adam's original sin. This makes them capitalistic, in that capitalism is the product of interaction between private enterprise and Christian ideology. Their weapon of indoctrination is the bread-gun called money. The power of money resides in its threat to life of those who do not have it. The unconditional access to free food staples would empty this gun of its bread bullets and deprive money of its power. Thus humans in the current millennium would regain their dignity left behind in the paradise they had lost.
