Religion is a difficult topic in social economics. Most authors avoid it altogether and by doing so probably miss the most important building blocks of economic and cultural life. If they do touch on it, they seem to rely on glorifying their own faith rather than asking the hard questions, or they follow the comfort of the conformists. Indeed, religion seems to be instinctively ingrained in
humans, possibly as a means to bettering the chances for survival of any given group. Because religion is instinctual, it can easily be abused for power, and people can easily be misled.
The Great Leap-Fraud is but one piece in a puzzle of how economic growth and prosperity of nations work. It is an attempt to unlock a strategy to get the poorest nations of the world unto a path of positive societal evolution. The Great Leap-Fraud zeroes in on the Judaic religions and connects its doctrines to success and failure of economies through the eye of history. It shows how the religious messages have changed over time and how they influenced economic behavior and a propensity toward terrorism.
Religious ignorance is as dangerous for societal stability as religious extremism. In The Great Leap-Fraud, author A. J. Deus shows that only through the cowardly behavior of a majority that is uneducated in religious questions can sectarian extremism and terrorism take shape and overtake societies.
Based on a reassessment of primary documents from the beginning of Judaism through to the Reformation, The Great Leap-Fraud evaluates the Judaic scriptures of the Jews, the Christians, and the Muslims for their potential to stir hatred, violence, and terrorism. It searches for messages in the scriptures that may alter the economic behavior of societies.
While providing an overview of three major religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—The Great Leap-Fraud uncovers a series of frauds and premeditated deployment of “prophets” with the goal to establish or redeem the Jewish state of Israel. It also uncovers how the vested interest of Christian historians has pushed the rise of Christianity unto Roman Emperors. Deus shows that the way humans think and act are strongly influenced by a culture driven by the norms of religious organizations, both past and present.
The Systemic Risk (Working Title)
The Systemic Risk is an attempt to unlock rational and unbiased research into creating effective and economically feasible protection mechanisms in order to prevent an otherwise inevitable end of civilization. A single event from various possible sources—potentially as far away as one day—can trigger a super disaster that could wipe out 75 % of the world’s unprepared population or more, over 5 billion people. This work is far from Doomsday thinking. Quite in contrary. Doomsday will come true for those that continue throwing bombs at each other on grounds of religion, resources, or power while neglecting the bigger picture of humanity. Instead, this work is to avoid Doomsday and hopefully help create a better future for our children.
For simplicity, America serves as a model society that is not only the most advanced but also happens to span almost an entire continent. Due to its geographical and economical status as well as its single language, it serves well as an example. Hence, the contributors to The Systemic Risk apologize to Americans, who may feel unfairly singled out or offended in places. In a highly complex subject matter as this, errors and false conclusions are unavoidable. The hope is that they trigger the necessary discussions and raise the awareness for all too human behaviors that ultimately put civilizations at risk. It seems that humanity is particularly good in dealing with success, growth, expansion, and conquest, but markedly poor in dealing with failures, decline, retreat, and loss. For example, while many fingers point at population growth being the foundation for all ill, it seems to be largely overlooked that civilizations have dealt fairly well with population pressure through the ages while population decline poses far greater risks, including the potential for civilizations to collapse. The economics are straight forward: infrastructures are built in anticipation of a certain population growth. Should the number of people drop below growth expectations, the infrastructure operates at a loss. If the population declines substantially, maintenance of an oversized infrastructure becomes unaffordable to the point where it may collapse.
