| The "work-receipt card". The economy of the World State guaranteed to be in permanent balance | 112. When an individual has performed his obligatory number of normal working days a week, he will be given a receipt which, according to scientific computing, will correctly express the full value of all the working days that individual has rendered to the World State - minus a small, necessary instalment to the childhood, health and old-age funds of the State. Therefore this receipt will represent the individual's only means of payment, providing him with access to all World State establishments - theatres, entertainments, museums, exhibitions, means of transport and foodstuffs, up to a figure exactly balancing the work value for which the receipt in question is valid. As the work-receipt card is absolutely invalid for any other person than the one to whom it is issued, and issue can only take place on the basis of the work value rendered by that individual, and the cards referred to are the only form of payment in the World State, consequently, there could never appear any payment for which there was no security. As all assessments of work value are computed by scientific methods and are thus guaranteed to be exact, and as these assessments equally constitute the basis for those values which can be obtained in exchange, then not a single individual will be able to cause the World State a bigger deficit than the asset which he has already given it. So, as no one will have the opportunity to use up values for which he has not previously given new, full return value in accordance with his work-receipt card, then the World State is thereby guaranteed that its economic standard can never be disorganised or can depreciate, but will automatically be maintained at that standard and balance ensuring the absolute well-being of terrestrial humanity as a whole. |
