How I will change the world

__________________________________________________________

Phase 1: research: completed
1980-1990: blue skies thinking
My goal was the save the world. So first I had to understand the nature of the problem.
Conclusion: the world is fundamentally broken, so needs a fundamental fix
1990-2000: abstract economics
I realized that the central problem was economic, so worked out a theoretically better system
But the problem: it was too complex, too abstract
2001-2010: land rent

I discovered the key: land rent. Now everything fell into place.

The basic idea: it simplifies economics and politics

Phase 2: prepare
2011: bulletproof it
The first step is to make it logically bulletproof, to win over the thinkers
The basic concept: if you do good, you are rewarded for it

2012: plan it

Next, I plan a detailed roadmap, so I can answer any questions that arise.

The basic idea: people pay the same land rent as they paid in tax

2013: package it

Next, I make sure that everybody benefits at every stage, so the plan has no enemies.

The basic idea: even land owners benefit

2014: headline it

Next I link it to high profile ideas, so people notice

I show how no matter what your problem, land rent will fix it: make Google page rank notice.

Phase 3: get on the national agenda
2015: network it

Next I build a following among ordinary web sites and networks. Now people start to notice.

Get a big FaceBook and Twitter following, get other web sites on board 
2016: build a team

By this stage I will need a campaign team, to reach the big time
Learn from other grass roots organizations

2017: find champions

We need endorsement from either celebrities or recognized experts

Find people the powerful will listen to

2018: reach think tanks

The goal is to get this discussed by the people who provide ideas for politicians 
Every major political movement gets ideas from policy foundations and institutes
2019: reach the mass media

Now we create a buzz, so that politicians notice it

This should be discussed on high visibility newspapers, web sites, shows, etc.

Phase 4: mainstream politics
2020: get it adopted by a mainstream party
Now the professionals take over
Probably the liberals - this was their central policy back when they were popular and exciting
2021 and after: monitor it
Now it is up to the professionals - my job will be to solve any problems and keep it on track
2025: voted in?
Ideas take a long time to bed in, and then we have to wait for elections
2030: adopted in a big way
The first wave will be small scale, just to see if it works. The next wave will be bigger scale.
2035: other nations notice the results
2040: it is unstoppable
2050: the world is saved
By the time you are old, the world has entered a new age where war and poverty are dying out, and freedom and justice are spreading everywhere. The world is saved.
