Sequestration and Rental Flows

In the context of the By-Products Economy (BPE), where By-Products Money (BPM) is the primary currency, Sequestration functions as an accounting mechanism to regulate the money supply and maintain economic stability. It primarily manages the large financial flows associated with rent and taxes.

Standard Rent and Rent Premium for Households

• The government establishes a "standard rent" that reflects a basic material standard of living. 
• This amount is automatically embargoed (deducted) from citizens' wages within the Multi-Roster system.
• If individuals desire rental premises exceeding the standard rate, they are responsible for paying a "rent premium" directly to the housing office. This premium is a consumer discretionary expense and must be paid from citizen's personal savings and accumulated wealth.

Business Plans with Negotiated Rent and Taxes

• Businesses negotiate their financial arrangements, including rent and taxes, with the government as part of their Business Plans.
• The agreed-upon rent and tax amounts are then embargoed from the business's BP Money earnings, reflecting their contribution to public resources.
• These Business Plans are subject to regular renegotiation, ensuring that financial obligations remain aligned with the Business' performance and the overall economic environment.

Regular Sequestration

• In addition to the embargoed rent and taxes, the government periodically sequesters (adjusts the recorded amount in circulation) large quantities of BP Money to further manage the money supply and prevent inflation.
• This sequestration process helps control the overall liquidity of BP Money and maintain its value.

Rationale and Benefits

• Economic Stability & Inflation Control: By managing aggregate money supply, sequestration ensures price stability and prevents excessive inflation within the ByProducts Economy.
• Equitable Housing Access: The standard rent system ensures that all citizens have access to basic housing, while those with greater financial means may choose to pay a rental premium for more luxurious accommodations.
• Business Accountability: Regular renegotiation of Business Plans ensures that businesses contribute their fair share to public resources while maintaining flexibility to adapt to changing economic conditions.
• Resource Redistribution: Government earned BP Money (credit transactions) can be used to fund public services, social welfare programs, and sustainable development initiatives.

Challenges and Considerations

• Setting the Standard Rent: Determining an appropriate standard rent that balances affordability and quality of housing can be complex and requires careful consideration of various factors.
• Transparency & Communication: Clear communication about sequestration policies and their rationale is essential to maintain public trust and confidence in the ByProducts Economy (+BP Money).

Summary

The collection of rent and taxes from the households and firms sectors involves Sequestration as a central task of BP Monetary Management. By regulating aggregate money supply and ensuring a fair distribution of resources, Sequestration policies facilitate a stable and sustainable economic environment for both citizens and business.
