Advantage 90 – The good of the individual

Excerpt from the book »Gradido – Natural Economy of Life«

»Never do anything you wouldn’t like
to be done unto you.«
– Confucius
Chinese philosopher

Self-interest is probably the greatest motivation factor of all. Everyone is, first of all, their own neighbour, even if altruistic reasons are given. A functioning system of incentives – and money is nothing but an incentive system – must address the self-interest of each individual or, in other words, protect the good of the individual.

With the gradido this starts with unconditional participation. Everyone has the right to contribute to the community and thus receive their active basic income. This automatically results in the common good being served at the same time.
