PART 2: CHAPTER 11
OBJECTIVE POLITICS AND ART

Objective Politics
The political system in accordance with nature is free trade, as advocated by the Austrian School of Economics, within a financial system grounded in intellectual honesty and the gold standard.
Objective politics is Capitalism as long as it includes honest lawyers, politicians and judges. Imperial Capitalism is not free trade; Multimodal Capitalism is.
In a Multimodal Capitalist world, international and local laws defend the free choice of the individual without initiating deceit or brute force to others. A true Multimodal Capitalism defends private property, free choice, good faith, a small bureaucracy, and real justice. It propels rational disagreement and foments man to think for himself.
In economics, Multimodal Capitalism draws on the Austrian School. It ends the fractional reserve system, removes central bank interference in the economy, and limits monetary issuance to the amount of metallic gold in its vaults.
The Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution represent the best capitalist model in history. Unfortunately, they lack a solid philosophical and moral foundation to defend benign selfishness.
Politics derives from morality, which is based on metaphysics and epistemology. A benign and honest capitalist society is possible, but only with an objective moral and functional legal system — that is, banks, legislators, and judges grounded in objective moral philosophy.
Nothing more will be said on politics, but the books in the bibliography are recommended.
