While money is an undeniable and irreplaceable element of our day-to-day lives, that doesn’t mean the way we have approached it all these years was necessarily the right way.

This is where New Market Economics comes in, it is an economic system with rules to maximize wealth creation and distribute rewards to the people who exchanged their work to earn them. It is a private sector, business sector system, fueled by entrepreneurial effort. It is a system outside of government, although it is a system sanctioned by government. It is a system approved and enforced by government, but one in which no benefit accrues to government. Like religion, it is a system that plays a large role in society, but outside the ruling halls of government
