The Genesis Of Economics And
|
No? It is the prophet Abraham.
Abraham was the first person in human history who discovered free enterprise, the principle of the entrepreneur.
According to the Christian, Jewish and Moslem scriptures, Abraham was a nomad from Ur of Chaldees who became a farmer in Canaan.
Paul Zane Pilzer writes in his book God Wants You To Be Rich that
Abraham discovered that instead of roaming about and taking food off the land (this is what nomads do; they take food from the land until they have exhausted the supply, at which point they move on to different land with more food), he could become much wealthier if he settled in one place and domesticated animals and planted seeds (this is what farmers do; they plant seeds and grow a continual supply of food on the same piece of land).
So, Abraham turned from nomad to farmer, by making his own food.
In doing that he became the father of the modern world, in that he came up with the economic model of free enterprise, on which we have based the entire development of our Western civilization.
(So, Abraham is also the father of your online business and online work home business opportunity; it is important for you to know the history of your online work home business opportunity, while it gives your business plans and business ideas more vision, background and perspective.)
Abraham is the first person in the Bible to recognize land as individual property that can be improved, purchased, and sold.
OK. Let's examine the lessons learned from the story of Abraham.
What is the story of Abraham telling you for your own online work home business opportunity?
Three Lessons
(1) First, the story of Abraham tells you that, rather than going out to your boss and being dependent upon one or two percent increase in your salary (like the nomads, who were dependent upon the land and the weather for their own wealth), you can become in charge of creating your own wealth (like the first entrepreneur, the farmer Abraham).
The story of Abraham really refers to believing in the capacity to create your own wealth from your online work home business opportunity.
(2) Second, the story of Abraham tells you also that, if you turn to your higher spiritual being - God, or whatever name you want to use for a higher deity or spiritual reality - for knowledge and strength to explore the online work home business opportunity and to start your own small online business and earn yourself a living, not to simply have it given to you, then you are capable of unlimited wealth.
This is what Abraham wanted more than anything else for you to understand and what he had learned.
Abraham realized how prosperous all of God's children could be (you and me too!), if everyone strove to create and improve their own property, instead of crossing over the borders and trying to seize property from others by force.
You as an individual businessperson have your own property (your unique talents, creativity, ideas) through which you transform your efforts into an online business, growth and production.
So you create wealth by starting with the property you own and then utilizing creativity and technology to create more resources than presently exist.
(3) Third, the story of Abraham tells you that today, from an economic standpoint, there is no limit to the amount of available wealth, if everyone on earth were to follow the way of Abraham.
God gave us tools to work with, tools that will enable us to achieve and maintain great wealth ourselves. What remains is for each of us to learn how to use what God has given to us.
Transformation of Economics
So, the story of Abraham is the story of a radical transformation from one kind of economy, an economy of scarcity, to a wholly different type of economy, an economy of abundance.
Traditional economists sought wealth by hoarding as much of a given resource as possible (oil, gold, and so forth), much as the nomads did.
They depend exclusively on wealth that God had already put on earth, consuming what they found, then moving on to find more.
Of course, they could accumulate additional wealth only by taking from someone else.
By contrast, today's economic alchemists seek wealth by utilizing advancing technology to create more resources than currently exist, much as the farmers did by growing crops on cultivated land.
They increase their own wealth - and therefore the overall wealth of society - by improving the productivity of their God-given property.
