Economist+Recomendations

Upon thorough discussion with my colleges, I have recommended the following trades that will be exported.
 * Fruits and Vegetables
 * Coconuts
 * Messenger birds
 * Fish

Due to the variety of birds already inhabited on the island. I propose that we use our island birds to train them as messenger birds. This sustainable mailing system will be desirable to surrounding settlements. As we will already be using this system as a communication tool on our island; the resources and training used to train our birds will be reimbursed. Once our mailing system is well established, we could install our structured system to surrounding islands. Eventually we could install our mailing services globally.To promote our bird mailing services, I recommend that we create a service called //Hire-A-Bird//. This service will allow individuals to rent a trained bird for a trial period, to assess the high quality training and services these birds provide. This will also provide us with financial gain and further exchange between settlements.

If our bird mailing service becomes high in demand, I recommend that we dedicate some of our land to bird breeding programs. More research into breeding programs will be needed to ensure the quality of life for our birds are not hindered.Another form of trade I recommend we use our abundance of fish in our surrounding waters. To ensure that species of fish does not become endangered; we will create fisheries in our waters. I have briefly researched fisheries from the //Department of Fisheries, Western Australia// website, and we will have to install some restrictions, make sure our species are not under pressure. Please check the website: [|Department of Fisheries]

Our Ecologist recommended that we export Kapok seed oil and Cottonseed oil to the other settlements and countries. Cottonseed oil can be extracted from the seeds of cotton plants to sell as cooking oil. Kapok seed oil also contains elements to produce bio-fuel.

I also recommend that we use coconuts as an export as it is the 'tree of life'. Coconuts can provide many resources such as, coconut oil, milk, the meat, outer skin and coconut leaves and wood from the coconut tree (Center, 2011). These resources we export to neighbouring countries will be involved in the manufacturing of:
 * Cooking
 * Drinks
 * Fuel
 * Kitchen utensils
 * Buttons
 * Mulch
 * Gas Marks
 * Ropes
 * Upholstery material
 * Brushes
 * Margarine
 * Bakery and confectionary
 * Cosmetics
 * Emulsions
 * Perfumery
 * Synthetic rubber

The Island will generate enough revenue to pay for the goods and services that it exports, through a taxation system that will follow a communist system. In practice, communism has failed dismally in the past. The only way it can be achieved is if every single member of a communist society is in absolute agreement with the arrangement of equality and even distribution of wealth - and that the legislators are not open to corruption in the form of personal acquisition or favour (Marx, 2008).



The average price of wage-labour on the island is the moderate wage of $25 dollars an hour. As a modern communist society in a capitalist world, it is unrealistic to keep the labourer with basic survival needs. This wage rate will allow individuals to be free to purchase things in surrounding capitalist societies and discourage individuals to produce earnings to merely to increase capital, and to live only in so far as the interest of the ruling class requires it (Marx, 2008). This is why I recommend that moderate wage is untitled to everyone.

I realise that some jobs that will be required on the island will vary in physical, social, emotional, mental l levels of labour as well as levels of danger. That is why Iepropose that all individuals on the Island will precede a rotation of jobs on a weekly basis. Our taxation system will provide the funds to train individuals for each occupation so they are properly trained to manage risks without strenuous impacts on health. This is means to widen, to enrich, educate, empathetic and to promote the existence of the labourer (Marx, 2008).

This by no means limits the individuality of the labourer. The labourer is encouraged to trade and sell with what they will, provided they are not infringing on our governments laws, laws that will be influenced by a sustainable future. This will avoid capitalism destroying our new sustainable environment and alleviate stresses of any financial problems may occur. Thus, it will promote values equality, minimise greed and live life to its full potential (Heywood, 2003).

The Government system that will be in place will be in charge of the distribution of wealth and taxation of the newly found society. Having in mind that all citizens of the Island agree to this Communist regime, members of parliament will be elected on a three month basis. This allows all citizens to be more active and aware of the current political and economical state of the world, providing that they have no prior convictions of corruption and violation of human rights. This will eliminate corruption, capitalism and dictatorship, giving all individuals a chance to have their voices heard. Individuals must be 18 years and over and will be educated for the job that proceeds them.

Once our Island is up and running with multi trained labourers and our trades are flourishing, a taxation system will be in place. I recommend a flexible tax with an average of $10 dollars a week. The Islands income/ wages and tax will depend on how well we do in the foreign markets and the quality and quantity of goods we import. This will encourage everyone to fully participate in their society.
