Social Credit, sometimes shortened to SoCred, is an economical system that advocates for social control of credit, a national dividend, and other policies that aim to raise consumer's purchasing power and decentralize economic power.

Foundations and Beliefs

Purpose of the Economy and Waste

SoCred believes that the purpose of an economy is to provide goods and services that increase personal well-being, however not every good serves this purpose, these goods are waste. This waste hurts the consumer, since the price of products is increased because of it, hurting his purchasing power.

Production and Cultural Inheritance

For them, there are four factors in production. Land, labor, capital, and Cultural Inheritance, with the last one having the most importance. Cultural Inheritance is the knowledge, process, and techniques that are developed by past civilizations. These ideas make it so that we don't need to reinvent the wheel, making production easier and more valuable

Personality

He hates being confused for Dengism or Xi Jinping Thought, and will be quick to correct anyone who makes this confusion, often going on a long-winded rant on how his ideology is perhaps the exact opposite of Chinese social credit.
