The economic model outlined below is provisional. These are first thoughts about what an "intelligent" economic model (in the sense of the LUTTAI definition of intelligence) could look like according to my ideas. But I hope that I will get additional support in developing an intelligent economic model, maybe from you?
If you do not find any of the following seven rules useful, or if you would like to add an additional rule, please let me know. If you can convince me, I will include your suggestion for change and show who helped me, if you like. I hope that together we can develop an intelligent economic model that is fair to all employees, fair to humanity and fair to nature and all sentient beings. Hope dies last 😉
The following principles serve me as a guideline:
The LUTTAI definition of intelligence serves as an ethical guideline for all business activities. The promotion of well-being within the company, for all fellow human beings and for nature, and thus the avoidance of as much suffering as possible, is the ultimate goal.
The salaries paid to all employees should enable a decent life, but at the same time be capped.
Companies that generate profits give away a considerable portion of their profits to start-ups that want to operate according to the same economic model and can demonstrate that they are trying to act in accordance with the LUTTAI definition of intelligence.
The finances (wages, income, expenditure, expenses), business partners and supply chains must be publicly disclosed in order to ensure the highest possible transparency.
LUTTAI economic model
Version: August 30, 2020
- Das Unternehmen versucht im Sinne der LUTTAI-Intelligenzdefinition zu wirtschaften.
- Die Einnahmen des Unternehmens werden zu Beginn wie folgt verwendet: Zurückzahlen von externen Schulden (z.B. Krediten). Danach zurückzahlen von privat eingebrachtem Vermögen von Unternehmensgründern. Sind alle Schulden abbezahlt, wird das Einkommen gleichmässig (nach Stellenprozenten) auf alle Mitarbeitenden aufgeteilt, bis jede*r Mitarbeiter*in den Landesmedianlohn erhält. Dies entspricht im LUTTAI-Wirtschaftsmodell dem Mindestlohn bei Unternehmen die Gewinne erzielen.
- The profits earned beyond this are first used to pay employees unpaid hours at the minimum wage (national median wage) during the start-up phase of the company. Employees who are involved in the development of a company and who, for idealistic reasons, make their labor available, should be reimbursed for their work as soon as the company can operate profitably.
- Once all debts have been paid off and the hours worked since the company was founded have been remunerated, and each employee can be paid the national median wage, the profit beyond that is divided by two. 50% of this money is donated after deduction of corporate taxes as starting capital for company foundations which also want to operate according to the LUTTAI business model. The remaining 50% of the profit is used for investments in the company, provisions and/or as bonus payments to the employees. The maximum salary of each employee, including management, is four times the national median salary.
- Unternehmen, welche Startkapital in dieser Form geschenkt erhalten, verpflichten sich nach dem LUTTAI-Wirtschaftsmodell zu wirtschaften. Wenn sie aus diesem Wirtschaftsmodell aussteigen möchten sind sie verpflichtet mindestens das erhaltenen Startkapitals an ihre Geber*in zurück zu zahlen, welche das Geld an ein oder mehrere andere Unternehmen vergeben wird.
- Das Unternehmen ist verpflichtet folgende Angaben öffentlich zugänglich zu machen: Geschäftspartner/Lieferketten, alle Einnahmen und Ausgaben inkl. Löhne, Spesenabrechnungen.
- Der Unternehmensbesitz bleibt in Unternehmensbesitz, sollte die Unternehmensleitung abtreten. Die neue Unternehmensleitung wird durch die abtretende Leitung bestimmt oder falls von dieser gewünscht, oder bei vorzeitigem Ableben, demokratisch durch die Mitarbeitenden gewählt. Es soll sich dadurch kein privater Reichtum durch Vererbung anhäufen.
Okey, these are my first ideas of what a sensible or intelligent economic model could look like. If you notice something that you don't think makes sense, please let me know so we can reconsider it. Thanks a lot already for this. Until then, I will now get started and try to put this model into practice. But I have never built a profitable business before and if it will succeed with LUTTAI.com, well, you can dream. I suspect somewhat that I am not the best entrepreneur. But maybe someone else with more entrepreneurial talent reads this model and finds certain approaches useful and then manages to put this into practice. I would be very happy. Because the current economic model, which in my opinion is the most widespread, which strives for maximum profit optimization and maximum wealth, must be changed in my eyes. Too few people profit from this model and too many suffer from it. In addition, there is the resulting, unmeasurable suffering of countless sentient beings and the progressive destruction of their and our basis of life, nature.
Let us make it better.
Let us try to act intelligently
