The tax code was built for a world that no longer exists.
Maria earns $68,000 a year and loses twenty-seven cents of every dollar before she ever sees her paycheck. Two floors above her, the AI platform that replaced twelve of her colleagues pays no labor tax at all - because machines do not earn wages, and wages are what we tax. That widening gap is the story of the coming decade. Volume II of The Stewardship Civilization is the blueprint for closing it.
Maria earns $68,000 a year and loses twenty-seven cents of every dollar before she ever sees her paycheck. Two floors above her, the AI platform that replaced twelve of her colleagues pays no labor tax at all - because machines do not earn wages, and wages are what we tax. That widening gap is the story of the coming decade. Volume II of The Stewardship Civilization is the blueprint for closing it.
The economics of the AI age - designed, costed, and defended against its own hardest objections.
As artificial intelligence quietly transfers the rewards of work from people to capital, the systems that fund our civilization are failing. This volume does not merely diagnose the crisis. It engineers the replacement:
Every chapter opens with a real person and a real number, and every claim is sourced, footnoted, and stress-tested against the present's own books - from Microsoft's earnings reports and the $5.3 trillion projected to be spent on AI infrastructure, to India's UPI payment revolution, Norway's sovereign wealth fund, Pennsylvania's land-tax experiment, and the OECD's global minimum tax. The author asks for attention, not faith: check the sources, and reach your own verdict.
For readers of Thomas Piketty, Henry George, and Andrew Yang - and for anyone who suspects the automation wave will not distribute its own gains. The economics, it turns out, was the easy part. Here is how it works. The Stewardship Civilization - Volume II: The Economic Order. One volume of a six-part guide to the world already unfolding.
As artificial intelligence quietly transfers the rewards of work from people to capital, the systems that fund our civilization are failing. This volume does not merely diagnose the crisis. It engineers the replacement:
- Why three taxes must die - the case for ending the income, property, and sales taxes that punish work, shelter, and need.
- The new tax base - a business-only fiscal model built on the AI Surplus Tax, the Land Value Tax, resource rents, and the windfall no individual created.
- Universal High Income - not a $1,000 basic income that fails, but a dignity floor set at 120% of median earnings, paired with the supply-side abundance program that keeps it real.
- No nation left behind - a global dividend architecture that confronts data colonialism and the young graduate in Lagos who trains the machines for two dollars an hour.
Every chapter opens with a real person and a real number, and every claim is sourced, footnoted, and stress-tested against the present's own books - from Microsoft's earnings reports and the $5.3 trillion projected to be spent on AI infrastructure, to India's UPI payment revolution, Norway's sovereign wealth fund, Pennsylvania's land-tax experiment, and the OECD's global minimum tax. The author asks for attention, not faith: check the sources, and reach your own verdict.
