The purpose of a system is what it does.
Not its intentions, but its outcomes.
Let that sink in for a moment...
Then look at the state of the collapse (i.e. the collapse of the state) all around you and think on what you can do to change the failing system we are trapped in.
"But I'm just one person, what can I do?" said 60 million people.
The answer is obvious: Put aside petty differences, embrace the common goal of freedom and flourishing and get active:
-Identify and spread Solutions, not Problems.
-Become as independent of government and corporate CONTROL as you can. This gives you OPTIONS.
-Invest in the 5 THINGS you need for your survival. This makes you an asset rather than a liability.
-Find and collaborate as equals with other like-minded people instead subjecting yourself to yet another saviour organization or leader.
-Now you can lead by example. This has massive power to change society.
-There is a movement doing all of this and a lot more:

Empower yourself for your role in saving South Africa. The time for action is NOW.

After a couple of months' hiatus, the Masters of Economics series finally continues.
In this article, Hayek draws some triangles on a blackboard in 1931, stunning attendees at the London School of Economics.

Anyone who lives in South Africa knows these so called inflation numbers are completely made up nonsense.
Everything in this country is twice as expensive as it was before covid, yet we are supposed to believe inflation figures of 2-5% per year😂
It’s laughable that they present these figures with a straight face.

Taking place in South Africa 😉
Seriously, if you haven’t taken steps to government proof yourselves, you are on the losing side!
Local communities, local farmer, local, local, local.
Or learn old fashioned skills yourselves.

So the water minister, Penny (Niknaks) Majodina, says it will cost R400bn to fix our water supply, but we don't have the money.
This is the big fat chicken of stolen and wasted money coming home to roost.
It's estimated that at least R2 trillion has been flushed down the drain by wasted expenditure and corruption in the last ten years or so, and that's probably on the low side.
This is the consequence.
Money that should have been spent on infrastructure became Lamborghinis and G-Wagons instead. And now, when people are struggling just to get water out of their taps... DOLOLO money.

If the party you support, is not calling for #systemchange, or electing our representatives directly for accountability, the status quo will remain until there is nothing left of our country! So think hard about your choice on the LGE2026!

What a surprise. The unelected central bank directors obviously applied their minds independently and thought this major change would be great for the citizens. It’s just a coincidence that other countries’ banks are doing the same. No conspiracy at all.

The man Robinson Crusoe was based on spent four years alone on an island in the Pacific, lived almost entirely on goat, and ran so fast by the end that the crew who rescued him could not keep up with him across the hills.
Alexander Selkirk was a shoemaker's son from Fife with a temper, sailing with privateers off Chile in 1704 when he decided the ship was rotten and demanded to be put ashore. The captain obliged. The ship sank a few weeks later. Selkirk was twenty-eight, on an island four hundred miles from land, with a musket, a knife, a pound of powder and a Bible.
The island had goats, left by Spanish sailors a century before. When the powder ran out he learned to run them down barefoot on the mountainsides, catching them by the horns and killing them with the knife. He counted five hundred. He ate their meat, drank their milk, made his clothes from their skins, and when he was lame he had already crippled a few kids so he would always have one he could catch.
When Captain Woodes Rogers found him in February 1709 the castaway was dressed in goatskin and had half forgotten English. Rogers wrote that he was in rude health, and watched him go up the slopes after goats faster than the ship's dog. Rogers' crew were rotten with scurvy after months at sea on salt beef and biscuit. Selkirk brought them two or three goats a day until they were well, and the captain made him second mate.
Four years of goat and seal. No bread, no grain, no fruit to speak of. The man came off the island fitter than any sailor in a navy that was losing more men to scurvy than to the Spanish.
Defoe gave the fictional version a parrot and a man Friday. The real one had a knife and a hillside full of meat, and that was enough.

Seventy million people died in World War II, and the U.S. government spent the next seventy years claiming the war cured the Great Depression. This is one of the most successful lies in modern economic history.
GDP rose sharply between 1941 and 1945. Unemployment nearly vanished. The textbooks call this recovery. What they omit is that GDP figures counted government military spending as production. Building a Sherman tank that explodes in France raises GDP. It does not raise your living standard. Henry Hazlitt identified the real test of any economic policy: the unseen. Full employment in munitions plants is visible. The butter, the cars, the housing, the civilian goods that never existed because capital and labor went to ordnance instead: these are invisible.
Rationing, price controls, and conscription masked the underlying misery. Workers had paychecks they could not spend on anything real. That is suppressed consumption at gunpoint, not prosperity.
The Depression itself sprang from Federal Reserve credit expansion in the 1920s, then Hoover's refusal to let prices clear, then Roosevelt's systematic war on investment through the National Industrial Recovery Act, the Agricultural Adjustment Act, and punishing tax rates that reached 94 cents on the dollar by 1944. War didn't remove those structural errors, but buried them under emergency powers.
The genuine postwar recovery came in 1946 and 1947, when Truman (reluctantly, under pressure) slashed federal spending by +-40 percent. Prices adjusted. Veterans rejoined a labor market that could actually absorb them. Capital reallocated toward things people voluntarily chose to buy. Economists who predicted postwar collapse were wrong, because the state briefly stepped back and let markets function.
