Exactly what does Copionics mean, what does it do, how will it help us? I can't give an all-inclusive, detailed report of this economic theory but I can offer this introduction to Dr. Arthur Shaw and his plan. Copionics is something 1 believe in, and that I feel is a valid offering to our society by a brilliant and devoted man. This is something I trust. I hope we will be witnessing Copionics in practice soon.

Plowboy: What is Copionics?

AS: Copionics is the theory of global sufficiency. It's both an idea, a theory, and a means of effectuating plenty on a planetary basis.

Plowboy: What are you trying to expound with the theory of Copionics besides plenty? What are you trying to tell the people of this planet that we have to do?

AS: The information about the plenty is becoming more and more general, a statement that there was enough for all on Earth was greeted with a good deal of doubt, questioning and - even - scorn not too many years ago.

Plowboy: Were they questioning your statement?

AS: Yes. I have been indicating global abundance as a mathematically provable fact. Something we can inventory and show for over a score of years.

Plowboy: Twenty years?

AS: Yes, more than that. Now at this point then, just the statement of plenty adds to existent growing knowledge. The idea to implement this plenty, and to implement it and effect it, is the contribution specifically of the program, World Economic Organization. W.E.O. is an expression and a program to demonstrate and prove Copionics. Your question is how does it operate, what does it say, how does it propose to effect plenty.

Copionics is a negation in itself of the very basis for our present scarcity - economics. It negates scarcity in that it states that the sufficiency of the planet can be made available to all its inhabitants. Moreover, the distribution and the satisfaction and fulfillment of all mankind can be accomplished gainfully. Perhaps this is the key: That we are not talking about a charitable or a give-away program - a program of "foreign aid" - but, rather, the expression of natural exchange.

Plowboy: What do you mean by natural exchange?

AS: We find that the processes by which man lives, whether they are technological or processes of nature or anatomical functions, are al l- in effect - natural in exchange. For example, our exchange with plants . . . the C02 - oxygen cycle . . is a free and gainful exchange between the parties to the "trade". There is no tariff, there is no charge and both plant and animal gain in the relationship. The nitrogen cycle, the formation of crystals in a super-saturated solution, are all examples of the largesse - of the abundance - in natural functions. The scarcity premise, the scarcity concept with which man has somehow burdened himself, is an unnatural precept. It does not sit with, nor is it normal, to natural life.
