I was born in 1958, I am a Sri Lankan man living on and working a coconut plantation according to sustainable methodologies. I am an Economic theorist and futurist, subscribing to the ideas of J.W. Smith, Buckminster Fuller and C.H. Douglas.

It is my belief that all products are stored labour and that economic value is only created when there is an exchange between two or more human beings. I do not believe corporations are people or that there is any reason for limited liability for a body of men or women to do business. Any personal third-party liability that might be acquired due to participation in a commercial enterprise is something that can be covered by insurance. As it stands all forms of corporate limited liability is licensed fraud.

I believe the biggest racket in the world today is Fractional Reserve Banking and that when we allow private enterprises to control the money supply of our economies we make them party to every transaction we conduct between ourselves. The term legal tender only correctly applies to what the government will accept our taxes in. If I want to exchange my house for your car and you are willing, no one can stop us.

I believe in and am working towards a restitution of Mahasammatta in Sri Lanka as it is the only political system that I know that is compatible with Liberty. Mahasmmatta is a general consensus that there is an optimal way to live and that is in dhamma and that so long as we do, the people and the land would be safe. In the Lanka of our kings, it was the King who set the example and so the standard for the kingdom. Crucial to this was that as the king was never seen it was only by one's behaviour that one could be judged and as such any man could be and was the king.

Arya Sinhala is an aspiration to a state of being at one with Self.

I subscribe to CH Douglas' definition of liberty as "the ability to do or not to do something."
