It would be done in such a way that all savings and pensions would be legally guaranteed by the government and would be issued in new currency in the existing financial institutions where the public presently has their pensions and savings. No one in the ordinary public would lose their money, but the bankers would lose their ability to lend out vastly more money than they really have and grow rich off the interest...and the national debt would be cleared.

Furthermore, no one would be left in destitution. Everyone under the new system I envision would be given a constitutional right to have basic accomodation, food and basic necessities at the level required for human dignity and survival. Many jobs would be created to achieve that. Everyone would also have free access to education, right through to university level, if they wanted it, and if they perservered and did well at it, then they would receive academic standing accordingly with the usual certificates of graduation and course completion. That's investing in the people! And it would pay off in the long run.

Furthermore, everyone would have equal access to free and modern health care when and if they need it. No questions asked. The sick would be healed, and they would not have to pay for it.

Everyone would also have a constitutional right to a decently paying job, full-time or part-time as required...if they wanted it...and if they did the work satisfactorily. Many new jobs could be provided by improving the domestic infrastructure and repairing environmental damage and other desirable work projects.

None of the above would be done for dollar profit, but it would ALL be done to make society a happier, safer, more prosperous place.

Overseas military bases on other nations' territories would be shut down. All national military forces would be returned to their own soil. A world justice system would be set up to establish equal wages and educational opportunities right across the globe, and to enforce the rights of nations and communities through a multi-national force (if necessary).

Now....none of the above can happen unless people get serious about getting along with each other and helping each other, rather than just pursuing money and power at someone else's expense.

It would require a revolution in human thought.

It can be done. All it takes is the vision and the will to do it. And the courage....
