Today, January 20th, 2017 — besides being the Presidential Inauguration Day in the United States — is the 138th birthday of Major Clifford Hugh Douglas, the founder of Social Credit.

This year, 2017, is also the centenary of Social Credit, as it was in 1917 that Douglas had made the first written presentation of the Social Credit case in an engineering journal called The Organizer.[1]

The previous year, 1916, was marked by Douglas' stupendous discoveries regarding the difference in flows between prices and incomes at the Royal Aircraft Factory in Farnborough, England.

  • Acids, Bases, and Balance: A Chemical Analogy for C.H. Douglas’s Social Credit
    Geoffrey Dobbs’ chemical metaphor casts a brilliant light on Douglas’s Social Credit, revealing that the debt-money system is, in conjunction with an unbalanced price system, an acidic force—corrosive, unstable, and conflict-inducing. Social Credit, by contrast, provides the base money that neutralizes this acidity, infusing the economy with debt-free purchasing power (OH⁻) to balance the H⁺ of debt-laden prices. The National Credit Authority, as the economy’s alchemist, orchestrates this equilibrium, ensuring financial flows mirror real production.
