MERITOCRATIC
AFFAIRS
As
politics degenerates towards democratic anarchy,
So,
by a counter principle, economics becomes
More
important until, with the nadir of
Political
degeneration in Marxist socialism, it becomes
All-important, symptomatic of the final decadence.
Contrary
to this trend of the rise of the lowest
Towards
a position of paramount importance,
Social
Transcendentalism will champion
The
expansion of religion at the expense of politics,
And
to a point where economics would be
Firmly subordinated to theocratic requirement.
Instead
of leading an independent life,
As
it all-too-often does these days, economics
Would
become the servant of religion,
While
Social Transcendentalism strove to expand its base
And
further Centrist civilization in the world generally
But
the more theocratic parts of it in particular.
Ownership
of the means of production
Would
no longer be solely a plutocratic or even
A
bureaucratic affair, but would pass, duly transmuted, to
The
meritocracy, who alone would be responsible
For
the allocation of funds, with particular emphasis
On
meritocratic affairs, though with
Due deference to bureaucracy, albeit a minimum one.
