John Dunn original writing
Johann Gottlieb Fichte (1762-1814)
The Closed Commercial State
Fichte presented his ideas in The Closed Commercial State (1800), in which he postulated the withdrawal from foreign trade, the introduction of a national currency, a system of price controls, the balancing of production and consumption, and the regulation of the workforce - as means of securing the industry and the economic independence of all its citizens. His comprehension of the enduring tensions between com- mercialised society and political freedom was ahead of its time. It was his philosophical idealism, rooted in a reading of Kant, and opposed to Spinozist materialism, that motivated his recommendations, i.e. the desire not simply to subordinate the individual freedom of the Absolute I to the external imperatives and needs of globalised capitalism.

Edward Thomas
Extracts from a long out-of-print monograph that I wrote about Edward Thomas twenty years ago entitled 'A Bleak but Honest Resolution'. But it's still on Kindle.

Just a thought:
Everything that would later define the globalising empire of Usura emerged from the Amsterdam crucible, notably the first Stock Exchange, multinationals (the East Indies Company, which would rule autonomously over Indonesia as an unrestrained corporatocracy for centuries) and, most importantly, a Central Bank, the ‘Amsterdamsche Wisselbank’, the model of all central banks to come.

“Seeking out historical places of interest has given me wonderful motorcycling opportunities over the years… roads and little lanes, through a variety of landscapes that bear the scars, marks and imprints of those that have trodden, worked and fought on the land before us.”
“Any excursion, whether it be by motorcycle, car, bicycle or on foot, is always better for having an object, or goal in mind. I could take no pleasure in riding around just for the sake of it. There has to be a mission.”
“I ride my motorcycle to seek out things ancient, quirky and monumental, taking in the views, and ‘reading’ the landscape,its geology and history, as I do so.”
