Christopher Columbus, when he was given a chance to structure society in Jamaica, he was asked to hire people to fulfilling roles such as local Mayor, Judge, Constable and Teacher for example. While he was asked to hire trained people from Europe as there were no schools yet in the colony, he decided to structure society in such a way as to defend his own position as an untrained ship captain who had no schooling but was given practical experience from 10 years old with his lack of a well rounded formal education so that he could command a ship but could not read the manifest or count five rows of boxes, six columns wide and five boxes high to count the number of boxes of tea in the cargo hold. So, nobody really knows how many boxes of WATER there may be if they are like him so then why not take half for yourself he thought? If anybody asked what happened to the other half, you would just say they spoiled due to ocean water or salt damage or e rats. You don't want that. You don't want that. This became a banana republic culture of gremlin destabilization of the whole colonial enterprise. As such, he would send the European educated back home and would just choose anyone who he thought could fulfil the role and who had that look about him, hiring those who had the look but maybe not the preparation. This helped him to secure his position he thought as he didnt really have the education to be a ship captain but he was given the authority. Also, in the short run it may have been expedient as there was much work but few people who were trained and willing to come to the new world. The result was disastrous. There was a tuberculosis break out due to insufficient sanitation, there was insufficient disbursement of money/Roman minimum income support per family and insufficient revenue generated or the money collected was sent to Cuba instead of being managed to maintain Jamaica. It was abandoned with people leaving for Juventidad, Cayo Largo and Haiti. ++++++ .

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH & FLEET STREET FINANCIAL DISPATCH LONDON — SEPTEMBER 2025 — SPECIAL ECONOMIC INVESTIGATION THE ARCHITECTURE OF GLOBAL CAPITALISM AND THE MECHANICS OF UNIVERSAL DEMAND An Analytical Examination of the Post-War Industrial Order, the Fallacy of Unfettered Laissez-Faire, Mechanisation, and the State-Guaranteed System of Participatory Remuneration BY OUR SPECIAL ECONOMIC CORRESPONDENT IN FLEET STREET, Warren A. Lyon with Cheuy Leon Stephen Lam Tom. LONDON — In the tenth year following the cessation of European hostilities in 1955, as the Western world navigates the transition from wartime economic controls to the mid-century industrial consensus, thoughtful observers in Fleet Street, Westminster, and the City must confront a fundamental problem of political economy. The modern capitalist apparatus—stretching across the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth, North America, and Western Europe—operates upon a single, immutable law: the imperative equilibrium between Supply and Demand. Yet, despite the vast expansion of mechanized production, factory automation, and electronic computation, our financial architectures continue to suffer from a crippling structural defect: the systemic failure to guarantee requisite consumer purchasing power (ability to pay/ATP) across the whole of the populace. I. THE LESSONS OF THE POST-WAR CONSCIOUSNESS: SUPPLY, DEMAND, AND THE ELECTRIC CIRCUIT To comprehend the crisis of modern industrial organization, one must discard the antiquated Victorian dogma that human existence is defined solely by manual toil. Under the classical doctrine of laissez-faire, labour was treated as an elastic commodity, hired when factories required muscle and cast aside into poverty when machines replaced handiwork. In an age dominated by automatic machinery, conveyor systems, and early electronic computing, such a doctrine is not merely obsolete; it is actively destructive to the civic health of the realm. Consider the macro-economic structure as an electrical power grid carrying a constant current of thirty amperes. Under a rational and balanced order, this current is bifurcated equally along two parallel conductors: fifteen amperes are directed to energise the lamp of Industrial Supply (the manufacturing apparatus, capital investment, and technological innovation), while the remaining fifteen amperes flow uninterrupted to power the lamp of Demand—the Ability to Pay vested within the consumer public. In an unregulated laissez-faire system, however, an artificial blockage is introduced along the conductor powering Consumer Demand. It acts as a deliberate obstruction—resembling a corkscrew jammed into the brass fittings of a ship's engine room. The electrical energy, unable to reach the lamp of Demand, encounters extreme resistance; heat builds rapidly within the circuit, insulation scorches, and the entire socio-economic edifice is threatened with catastrophic conflagration. Energy in an economic system, like energy in physics, is never destroyed; if it is denied its proper outlet in legitimate consumer spending, it manifests as market collapse, civil unrest, shoplifting, and social decay.
