We define donations as irregular Revenue from the abundance experienced by others.
Donations are revenue similar to profits but are caused by anabundance instead of a lack. It is associated with the intellectual class which includes clergy, scientists, and teachers.
- An example is the non-fixed ‘honorary’ that a student gives to his preferred teacher directly which would then encourage the teacher to continue teaching.
- Another example is the donations box given during Christian mass to give revenue to the priest for him to be able to continue his work. The priest’s command over the people is purely metaphysical and not physical like the warrior-king, nor commercial like the merchant-oligarch.
Thus in Eastern metaphysics, we can say that donations are usually the revenue of the intellectual class or brahmin (the head of the body).
The fee or honorary which the scholar pays the teacher is naturally a revenue of this kind.
By organizing the four revenues, it becomes easier to see why negativity is attached to taxes and profits, different from wages and donations which are seen positively by society. On the flipside, high profits and taxes are essential to driving productivity (since they come from a ’lacking’ starting point), whereas high wages and donations do not give the same guarantee (since they are already abundant).
| Source | Regular | Irregular |
|---|---|---|
| Based on Lack | Rent / Taxes Warrior-Tyrant / Ksatriya class Dominance leads to dictatorship and war | Profits Merchant-Oligarch / Vaesha class Dominance leads to Financial Crises and Great Depression |
| Based on Abundance | Wages Worker-Democrat / Shudra class Dominance leads to peasant or Communist revolutions or barbarian invasions | Donations Intellectual-Aristocrat / Brahmin class Dominance leads to Crusades or Islamic revolution or Divine Rule |
This pre-classification of revenue into four qualities is an example of Socrates’ Dialectical* method. It compares observable data, which in this case is revenue, with timeless principles, which in this case is the four natural social classes.
*The Dialectics of Socrates is different from that of Hegel or Engels. The former is totally based on metaphysical truths, such as the existence of a Deity which sets the principles for everything in existence, while the latter is based on the movement of the mind from idea to idea. The aim of Socratic Dialectics is to move the mind from lower ideas and perceptions onto higher ones by disregarding hypotheses and replacing them with ultimate principles.
This method then gives us a new model or tool for creating better economic policies and systems. It is essential in Points-based Taxation which will be more intuitive and fair than the current taxation system from Economics (which is merely based on the money-value of revenue). It will also help predict crises by warning policymakers if a class is becoming too strong in society as to render the other classes impotent or useless.
In her present condition, Great Britain resembles an unwholesome body with some overgrown vital parts. Her body is liable to many dangerous disorders which affect unproportioned bodies. Her blood vessel was artificially swelled beyond natural by the industry and commerce forced to circulate in it. A small stop in that great blood-vessel will very likely bring the most dangerous disorders on the whole political body.
