Income

The colonial model shows that colonial governance / business has two bases, one on Earth and one off-world. The Earth based part would be responsible for Earth payments for materials and family incomes (Paid in Earth currencies) while the off-world part is responsible for off-world payments and income, using the off-world currency. 

This is where the current human values system is re-written.  

a. We currently see wealth as something we can accumulate whether it is money, objects or favors. We place value on objects of art, the house we live in or the income we are paid. These are all collectables. 

b. We place a value on something by its rarity, its quality, or its accessibility (supply and demand) Knowledge, experience and marketable skills also have a value and are the determination of income value. The inequalities in income on Earth are often the result of the human desire to collect more than someone else so you undervalue everything around you.

c. This sets up a vicious circle of undervaluation to increase collectable wealth. In an environment where “collectables” are limited and inequality in resource distribution leads to deadly consequences (you can’t live on the street), the general “wealth” needs to be equitable.

Now, having just made a lot of people mad, or start to question my sanity, let’s look at this in terms of Earth based wealth in an off-world environment.
