Re: A Kelsonian Response to COG

[Shann Turnbull <sturnbull@mba1963.hbs.edu>]

I would like to support the Kelsonian Response to COG by Norm Kurland and
add the following:

1.  Norm nominated Rodney Shakespeare as a purist disciple of Kelso.
Rodney last week sent me the following comments about my 1975 book
dedicated to Louis Kelso:

"It is excellent"...."the book is very enjoyable reading. Thankyou for
sending it. It was a great surprise."

My book "Democratising the Wealth of Nations" is in the Library of Congress
or can be purchased from me through my web page at
http://pegasus.apc.org/~shann

2. My book describes a complementary techniques for distributing the
ownership of assets which does not involve changing the operations of
Central Banks.

3. I have made submissions to the Australian Government to make
representations to the WTO to promote a Community Investment Code based on
the ownership transfer proposals described in my book.  My proposal for the
WTO can be found as Appendix B of my my submission to the Australian
Parliamentary Committee investigating the extent of employee ownership.
The information I provided to the committee included extracts from the CESJ
webpage describing the Capital Homestead Act for which I provided
supporting information in Appendices D, E, & F. Refer to my submission
number 15 at http://www.aph.gov.au/house/committee/eewr/ESO/subslist.htm

4.  I call upon COG and all its members to support my proposal for the WTO
which is consistent with the approach described by Norm because it would
apply to both domestic and foreign investors and be complementary to the
industrial homesteading proposals.

Regards to all
