12. Economic Order in the Context of the Project

The economy serves life—not the other way around. In the context of the project, the economy is not an autonomous system organized by profit logic and competition, but a structure designed to secure human needs and social participation.

Every person has a right to subsistence that is not dependent on performance, adaptation, or market viability. This right is realized through a universal basic income that secures existence and freedom. Work thereby becomes an opportunity—not an obligation.

In the project’s understanding, value is created not primarily through money but through energy, time, meaning, and relationships. An economic order must measure itself against whether it serves the common good, not whether it generates growth.

Instead of taxing labor, the project taxes consumption: where value is realized, the contribution to financing the community flows. This creates justice, transparency, and a new relationship between the individual and society.

The economic order acknowledges performance but does not idolize it. It creates markets but does not abandon anyone. It enables entrepreneurship but ties ownership to the common good. It is neither centrally planned nor neoliberal but human-centered.

Its goal is not efficiency but dignity. Not competition but participation. Not growth but purpose.
