CALDARI MAN
DEBT: THE FIRST 26,000 YEARS
A slave to the slings and arrows
of outrageous fortune?
Caldari Business School
wants you!
Money can’t buy you happiness
but it can be rented
Man is the animal that bargains
be it through trust or scarcity
Think coins of precious metal,
banking and it’s killer app, credit
If I have plenty
I share it with my neighbors
This makes them beholding to me
the fundamental unit of commerce
There is no unit of scarcity
but of obligation
The IOU not the ISK
a lesson of the last war
Credit did not come last
it came first
Coins eventually end up
in a temple or church
As tribute
never to be seen again
IOU’s are still better than coin
coin is for eternal debts
Religion, dowries at weddings,
large social or moral debt (parking tickets)
And injurious debts
think John Grisham
Yes, while there are many forms of currency
money can be taxed
Capsulers can freely give ISK
but for contracts there is a fee
The Axial Age of New Eden
Amarr, Caldari, Gallente
War, conquer, seize
demand payment for damages
The Military-commerce-slave-complex
debt peonage
Debt plus war taxes
plus interest
The wealthy know each other
credit is a convenience
The worker and their honest labor
paid in hard currency
Keeps in place the state backed
violence
Lenders and debt
don’t know each other
Money a unit of trust
money a unit of scarcity
Both are positive feedback
loops
As a unit of trust reinforces
merchant power, trust and localism
As a unit of scarcity reinforces
cycle of military power,
Dept, peonage and empire
a truly free market does not use silver
The pendulum swings
with one loop dominating
debt = forgiveness
when not state sponsored enforcement
but trust
these came after mercantile free trade
and universal colonial slave trade
If your citadel expands
followed by diminishing returns
see the Caldari Union

No trailer - no submission 
Union Day travel program flyer
I got the idea for this from past World News and description of Caldari Union Day SKIN. The girl in second image was commissioned to Ayaka Iida for this contest. I’m not a native English speaker, so please forgive me if you find any odd wording…
