The method uses pictures to teach how money moves.
They consist of lines that trace the flow of money.

The lines have simplicity and directness,
making how money moves impossible not to understand.

The lines also communicate information fast and without distortion,
just show the picture,
compared to a story that can get lengthy
and may change from person to person for lack of the right words.

Behind every story about the economy there is probably some flow of money
not explicitly described,
so, when someone makes your head spin talking about the economy,
using words that you don't understand, simply say,
"Cut to the chase, please, and show me the flow of money"
to make the story easy to understand and easy to tell friends about it.

The line drawings have many applications.

First and foremost, Trump can use creative line drawings, for example, animated lines like this, to show so convincingly to the people how the money flow in his economic plan benefits them that he creates enthusiastic supporters willing to spread the word and even some in the opposition can’t help themselves and admit the plan is pure genius. Imagine that!

Understand the Central Banking System – it’s all about control of the flow of money.

In the economy: see how the Federal Reserve turns virtual money into real money.

In politics: see the dirty money flooding the candidates.

In personal finances: see the investment options and simplify the selection process.

In education: debate different economic systems based on the flows of money they create.

narrative + visualization: a winning combination

Line drawings add life and simplicity to an economic narrative,

and a narrative gives context to line drawings.

There are three ways to do the line drawings: (1) the simple, by hand, (2) the fabulous, when a creative graphic artist does them for you, and (3) the awesome, when SeeTheDollars is an application and you can create elaborate drawings all by yourself.

There is always more to the story beyond the boundaries of a single line. That is visualized by adding more lines to create a web of lines. This is actually how the economy is. A simple, fictitious example for demonstration purpose is here.

social and psychological effects of the line drawings

It's all about change.

Everybody's got to learn sometime - The Korgis (Original Video)

When people suddenly realize that they can understand what the economy is doing, a subject considered to be off-limits and taboo to them, they may get empowered. “I can do that?" they think.

And they may get even more empowered when they also realize that by just drawing lines on a piece of paper they now have a voice to express their own thoughts about the economy.

Thoughts like “we have to change how we make a buck.” And then draw some lines to show how they propose to rearaange the flow of money to addresss that issue.

This is a Teutonic Shift, a real change in how people think. It makes them a different person, a person they didn’t know they could be. They can now challenge conventions comfortably.

When people understand and know how to express themselves, they know how to ask, even demand.

And they may start wondering: “why can’t other subjects be made easy for me to understand?” Perhaps using a visual of some kind like SeeTheDollars does with the economy.

And that’s’ a good thing, because I believe life is inherently simple.

the line drawings facilitate an economic revolution
by providing a language to communicate that everyone understands

The revolution is inviting non-economists to the economic table. Never been done before, but has enormous political, social and cultural benefits.

It creates a Sovereign Citizenry.

As far as I can tell, only Trump has the wherewithal to carry out such an economic revolution, here.
