Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Calls:Reverse Abuse: Difference between revisions

{{KidsIntro|This is an early idea, not a contest yet. One day we may invite clever people everywhere to design smart, legal ways to handle money that help ordinary people and small producers — instead of only the very rich. For now there is no deadline: it is something we want to explore, and anyone can already share suggestions on the Discussion tab.}}

 

== Open Call: Reverse Abuse — Legal Financial-Optimization Ideas ==

''Open Call (preview, theoretical) — part of the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Reverse Abuse|Reverse Abuse]] programme · uses the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main|Open Call]] method''

 

 

This page is part of a broader framework of '''Open Calls for creative ideas of all types''' — open calls to build '''programmes''' that connect and make several kinds of contracts interact: '''production''' contracts, '''transformation''' contracts, '''transport''' contracts, and many others. These contracts are used as the '''building blocks''' to assemble programmes.

 

In other words, this is an '''Open Call for programmes'''. Reverse Abuse is offered here as one '''disruptive example — which is not a joke''': it is meant to show that, in this project, '''imagination can be in power''', as long as everything stays within a '''lawful''' framework. There are many options and a wide field of possibilities through this approach. Other Open Calls of the same family include, for instance, Open Calls '''for markets''' (assembling the contracts that let a whole market segment exist).

| Theoretical / prospective idea — exploration only

| '''None for now''' — to be launched later; no commitment that it will be implemented

| The '''Discussion''' tab — to suggest orientation, framing, limits, and other Open Calls

| Very open — to everyone, to all lawful structures and ideas

=== What this call explores ===

This Open Call invites the community — and eventually the world — to imagine '''advanced, fully legal financial-optimization structures''', of the kind normally reserved for the very wealthy and large multinationals, but '''re-oriented so that value flows to users, small producers and the commons'''.

It is, above all, about using '''packages of contracts''' to show the '''interrelation between the different stages of a global, ecosystemic production''' within a market segment — '''tea''', for example, as an illustrative segment that could be deployed in a pilot experiment. But it could be '''anything else''': the scope is deliberately broad. Everything here is '''prospective and theoretical''', with '''no guarantee of implementation'''.

The principle follows the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Reverse Abuse|Reverse Abuse]] logic: '''same legal tools, opposite direction'''. Everything imagined must be '''lawful''' — legal optimization, '''not''' tax fraud and '''not''' money laundering — and must serve a '''non-profit finality'''.

=== A transition measure, not a finality ===

This is explicitly a '''transition measure''', with a single purpose: to help '''evolve the culture of financial-flow management''' and to '''reduce the low accountability of large companies'''. It is a '''phase of transition''', '''not''' an end goal. Once the broader culture shifts, the mechanism has done its job.

=== Illustrative examples (starting points, not limits) ===

* '''The "Buy, Borrow, Die" / securities-backed loan method.''' Wealthy individuals (a method publicly associated with figures such as Elon Musk) avoid a taxable sale by '''borrowing against their own appreciating shares or stock options''' instead of selling them: the loan is not taxable income, no capital-gains event is triggered, and they keep ownership and voting rights. '''Reverse Abuse variant:''' a company that goes through an '''IPO whose shares are owned by the users''', with a clear, transparent appreciation in value on the market — but '''user-owned''' — so the same liquidity-without-sale mechanics benefit the community rather than a single founder.

* '''User-owned holding & supply-chain repatriation structures.''' Entities with the '''same legal statutes''' as multinationals (holdings, cross-border structures) but with non-profit finality, used to repatriate margins back to producers via compensation funds and syndicates — as described in the parent [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Reverse Abuse|Reverse Abuse]] programme.

''Additional lawful examples are welcome and encouraged — this list is a starting point, not a boundary.''

=== Why a public Open Call (later) ===

When it is eventually launched, this call will also have a '''strategic-communication purpose''' within Prototype 1: to demonstrate, in a way that is '''communicable in mainstream economic media''', that the financial techniques associated with extreme wealth concentration can be turned into a '''credible, lawful alternative''' that serves the many.

 

=== Timing & cycles (still under reflection) ===

 

There is '''no deadline''' at this stage. Whether evaluation later follows a '''seasonal cycle''' (one option, in the spirit of the general [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main|Open Call]] method) is '''just one possibility under reflection''' — it is '''not''' the key to success. For now, this remains an idea to be explored within the Prototype 1 research-and-development programme.
