HEY! WHO’S IN CHARGE HERE?
HAVING posted yesterday on the “solution” to a cupboard-“bare” market, in the process suggesting that the “market” and by extension, our economy (at least from a “market” perspective) is run by gamblers, I’ve come to wonder who’s in charge of it all: the economy, government, the world? Or is there no one at all sitting in the drivers seat?
I’ve always held that the key to anything human, is balance and qualified cooperation. The framers of our Constitution called it “balance of power.” But the idea applies, in my opinion, to money, another illusory “game” invented by humans. In that sense, the answer to whether anyone is in charge — in the driver’s seat so to speak — is that IF there is any ONE person, company, party or religion, there would be no “balance.” Likewise, in my opinion, in regard to Wall Street. It’s always in the balance of power or money democratic institutions thrive. However, there is a caveat (or weakness, if you’re not a proponent of capitalistic democracy) and that is the issue of “truth.”
Democratic organizations heavily depend on voters knowing and exercising their vote based on unbiased truth. At the least, transparency. No “hidden secrets.” Something that has proven exceptionally difficult to maintain in our contemporary world where money and power are typically used to seduce, thwart, spin or fake necessary information. Which leads me guess that if people these days were presented with “true” truth, balance and cooperation could be restored and democratic decisions would once again prove rather easy to make.
In my latest book, THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor, and it’s ribald prequel, TOTAL MELTDOWN (Borgo/Wildside 2009) by Raymond Gaynor and William Maltese, the consequences of unbalance are examined and the consequences explored in depth. In PROPHECY, the third book in this series, currently in writing, I take these consequences a step further and describe a world where unbalance and attempts at resuming balance become elevated to world issues. As one reviewer said, THE EDGE OF MADNESS is “a successful tear in the time-space continuum that provides his readers with an insightful glimpse of society’s future. It’s not always a pleasant picture. In fact, it’s sometimes bordering on the truly shocking. That said…all of his prophetical premises seem to have logical underpinnings based upon historical facts, including what’s obviously at play within our own Twenty-First Century. It’s a fascinating read, experienced through the eyes of three protagonists from birth, through adolescence, and into maturity. Their journey is often difficult and often dangerous. Never, though, is it boring.” In PROPHECY the tear becomes a chasm, the result rippling through space and time.
“A never before imagined world, secretly emerging even as the book is being read.” And who’s in charge here? Well, YOU are, dear reader. YOU alone are! Ha, ha!
