Welcome

Welcome to SURNUMERISM, an open-source book on a LABOR-BASED economy.

Surnumerism highlights what man possesses as his most precious gift:
Man is an active agent in relation to his environment. He works.
Others endure their environment and adapt to it.
Man acts upon it, transforms it through his science and his effort.

The difference between man and animal is not only reflection but its usufruct: WORK.
Possession matters little. To produce, reproduce, and then innovate is essential.
It is work that gives value, and it must be the determining criterion among men.
Work must be sought, valued, and remunerated.

IS THE SON OF MAN READY TO SHARE WORK, AND NOT ONLY TO MAKE OTHERS WORK?
In ancient times there was SLAVERY. Today, the wage is an EXPLOITATION of man by his fellow man.

We challenge the foremost of men and the foremost of so-called civilized nations
to rise above the multitude still enslaved by a medieval mentality.

SURNUMERISM is like the proverb that exhorts us to learn to fish rather than to give fish to the needy.
No new truth will spring from Surnumerism, but it is time for MAN to become wise
and to know that his best ally is none other than the HUMAN within himself.
No entity, no machine, and no wealth can assist man as much as man himself
in his journey toward full, balanced, and shared development.
