: Gunnar Jarl, consort of Queen Ywonne.
: Greetings!
: I see that you have thought a bit about economics in Ladonia.
: But the point here is not to apply the economic system of other countries
: to our ladonian reality. My dislike of the worthy queens "porky"
: business is of pure aesthetic kind. I do not like the system of
: the western world where everything today is built on money and how to get them.
: Now I am very well aware of the philosophy behind Gunnar Jarls arguments,
: I assume they are built on the thougts of Rudolf Steiner and mme Blavatsky,
: shortly said the antroposophic thougts. How well they may fit in
: on the daily life on the estate of Bjorksater, the do not fit in on the
: ladonian system.
: The point here is, in Ladonia as I see it, we do not use money at all. What we
: do is to share thougths and creativity with each other. An "economic" system with
: much higher values than the pure monetary one.
: But alas, we are all prisoners of the moneymongers without heart and soul. We all
: have to toil for our daily bread in the world and country in wich we live. So I
: can not condemn our queens business with pigs. Especially not since it is
: ecological and kind to natures rules. But in Ladonia, let us hold on to the
: principle of sharing our creativity and not even think of being paid money for this.
: As ladonians, we have a golden opportunity to raise ourselves over the level of
: materialistic thinking.

Thank you Count Torby, Lord of Roses!
I love having a discussion of Ladonian Finances going
on. I am not an anthroposophist. I do like some of
the thoughts of Steiner (though I haven't read much)
and dislike some. Maybe MY OWN thoughts fits in to the
thinking of the guys you refer to and I don't say that
I am uninfluenced by our common human history. But
let's not accuse one another for having adopted someone
elses thoughts.
We have to face it though. We do have a system of money
in Ladonia. Our currency is Oertug and it has an exchange
rate of SEK 10. I don't know if any money has been produced
as yet and what the purpose of the currency is. I think
that's what I want to have a creative discussion about
here on the board. Come on all you economist experts,
get out of the lurking mode and start paying taxes.
