The first nation that adopts the Work-Standard will be endowed with a number of advantages. In a currency system relying on the interplay between Arbeit and Geld, this nation will achieve newfound economic and financial flourishing that eventually causes its neighbors and the rest of the world to look on in amazement. Assuming that nation does manage to successfully harness its Arbeit and Geld, other nations may be convinced to adopt the Work-Standard and begin issuing Sociable Currencies pegged to the Work-Standard. The first nation will be in the position to gain further economic and financial clout that translates into political and military influence in other countries. As more nations abandon Neoliberalism in favor of various Ideologies and Worldviews, there is going to be a shakeup in the current world order. The Work-Standard will no doubt be the catalyst.
Towards the end of the 20th century, the world order went on to become defined by Unipolarity as the Empire of Liberty sought to spread Neoliberalism in the interests of Jeffersonianism. Without any other great powers to counteract the Empire of Liberty, most nations proceeded to adopt the various trappings of Neoliberalism and its policies. By the early decades of the 21st century, the Empire of Liberty began to undergo immense pressure from various forces that are trying to challenge its Unipolar Moment. The stalling of Globalization, the renewed assertiveness of Russia and China, the rising opposition to Neoliberalism in its various forms around the world are all signs of the Empire of Liberty in decline.
If current trends continue, there will come a moment later in the 21st century when the Empire of Liberty could no longer be sustained by the Jeffersonians back in America. As the international organizations that propped up Neoliberalism after 1945 falter and eventually collapse, it may become tenable to envisage that today’s Unipolarity is going to be replaced by tomorrow’s Multipolarity. Once that happens, the nation that first adopted the Work-Standard will be able to present the “World State Organization (WSO)” as an alternative to the Empire of Liberty. The WSO replaces the various institutions of the Empire of Liberty by establishing parallel ones that serve the interests of all nations relying on the Work-Standard.
For the purposes of this Treatise, it is important to bear in mind that one of the fundamental purposes of the WSO is to create a world order of nations whose currencies are pegged to the Work-Standard. It is a world order where every aspect of economic life at home and abroad is conducted with Arbeit and Geld as opposed to Kapital and Schuld. The WSO will inaugurate the beginnings of a peculiar form of International Trade, applicable to the Digital Realm and the Real World. The WSO is to be led by five of the world’s most powerful nations, accountable to all other nations that are also members of the WSO. The delegation of each member-state is designated by the involvements of its national government and its student government, both of which are responsible for their nation’s national economy and Student Economy.
