A
NEW ECONOMIC MODEL

DEFINITIONS What is our current Paradigm? Finance: The field of finance refers to the concepts of time, money and risk and how they are interrelated. Banks are the main facilitators of funding through the provision of credit, although private equity, mutual funds, hedge funds, and other organizations have become important. Financial assets, known as investments , are financially managed with careful attention to financial risk management to control financial risk. Financial instruments allow many forms of securitized assets to be traded on securities exchanges such as stock exchanges, including debt such as bonds as well as equity in publicly-traded corporations. We have allowed the Banks complete control of the world! Public: The whole body politic, or the aggregate of the citizens of the state, district, or municipality. Open to all. This is our current Paradigm! par·a·digm

any kind
Paradigm
Paralysis
Perhaps the greatest barrier to a paradigm shift, in some cases, is the reality of paradigm paralysis, the inability or refusal to see beyond the current models of thinking.
Paradigm Shift: Undoing the
existing Paradigm!
Commerce: is a division of trade or production which deals with the exchange of goods and services from producer to final consumer. It comprises the trading of something of economic value such as goods, services, information or money between two or more entities. Commerce functions as the central mechanism which drives capitalism and certain other economic systems (but compare command economy, for example). Commercialization or commercialisation consists of the process of transforming something into a product, service or activity which one may then use in commerce.
Private: Affecting or belonging to private individuals as distinct from the public generally.
Banks should serve and facilitate Commerce!
Co-Venture: undertake as joint venture: to undertake a business venture in partnership with another person or company. Noun: business partnership: a business agreement, deal, or partnership involving two or more companies.
Revenue Sharing: The splitting of operating profits and losses between the general partner and limited partners in a limited partnership. More generally, the practice of sharing operating profits with a company's employees, or of sharing the revenues resulting between companies in an alliance.
Obligation: An obligation is a requirement to take some course of action, whether legal or moral. There are also obligations in other normative contexts, such as obligations of etiquette, social obligations, and possibly in terms of politics, where obligations are requirements which must be fulfilled. These are generally legal obligations, which can incur a penalty for unfulfilment, although certain people are obliged to carry out certain actions for other reasons as well, whether as a tradition or for social reasons. Obligations vary from person to person: for example, a person holding a political office will generally have far more obligations than an average adult citizen, who themselves will have more obligations than a child. Obligations are generally granted in return for an increase in an individual’s rights or power. Obligation Definition continued:
1. The act of binding oneself by a social, legal,
or moral tie.
2.
a. A social, legal, or moral requirement, such
as a duty, contract, or promise that compels one to follow or avoid a particular course of
action.
b. A course of action imposed by society, law,
or conscience by which one is bound or restricted.
3. The constraining power of a promise, contract,
law, or sense of duty.
4. Law
a. A legal agreement stipulating a specified
payment or action, especially if the agreement also specifies a penalty for failure to
comply.
b. The document containing the terms of such
an agreement.
5.
a. Something owed as payment or in return for
a special service or favor.
b. The service or favor for which one is
indebted to another.
6. The state, fact, or feeling of being indebted
to another for a special service or favor received.
BCL: Bank Commitment Letter: Commitment letters are contracts obtained by borrowers to assure the availability of financing from a lead lender. Borrowers may need commitment letters to "prove" to interested parties that they have a line of credit available from a lender or group of lenders. This gives those interested parties a certain degree of confidence that the borrower will be able to keep its promises - at least from a financing standpoint. In other cases, a borrower may want a commitment letter in place before it takes actions that require third party financing. The commitment letter gives evidence that a transaction is financeable.
Aval: A guarantee added to a debt obligation by a third party who ensures payment should the issuing person default.
Bill of Exchange: a short-term negotiable financial instrument consisting of an order in writing addressed by one person (the seller of goods) to another (the buyer) requiring the latter to pay on demand (a sight draft) or at a fixed or determinable future time (a time draft) a certain sum of money to a specified person or to the bearer of the bill.
A bill of exchange is a kind of check or promissory note without interest. It is used primarily in international trade, and is a written order by one person to pay another a specific sum on a specific date sometime in the future. If the bill of exchange is drawn on a bank, it is called a bank draft. If it is drawn on another party, it is called a trade draft. Sometimes a bill of exchange will simply be called a draft, but whereas a draft is always negotiable (transferable by endorsement), this is not necessarily true of a bill of exchange.

This is right out of the Wisconsin State statutes: Notaries:
Purchase Order: A purchase order (PO) is a commercial document issued by a buyer to a seller , indicating types, quantities, and agreed prices for products or services the seller will provide to the buyer. Sending a PO to a supplier constitutes a legal offer to buy products or services. Acceptance of a PO by a seller usually forms a once-off contract between the buyer and seller, so no contract exists until the PO is accepted
