The Monfort Plan is a five-year, forward looking plan to eradicate extreme poverty from the developing world. The Monfort Plan proposes a new institution based in the developing world with the potential to provide a basic, free and universal service in the areas of water, sanitation, healthcare and education to the extreme poor worldwide. The provision will be subject to a certain degree of conditionality in areas ranging from corruption to legal environment. The new institution will be established in a new international territory based within a specific country in Subsaharan Africa and will emerge in 2015.

The second book will be written in Spanish and released in Spain in the summer of 2011 about 9 months prior to the general election of March 2012. The name BIENVENIDO MR MONFORT (Welcome Mr Monfort) will remind Spaniards that there is change ahead if they welcome Mr Monfort and his team of Sabios de Nuestro Tiempo, some of the finest and wisest men and women from Spain that mimic THE MONFORT PLAN’s team of 100 Expert Dreamers.
The first book proposes a paradigm shift in ECONOMICS. The strategy behind the implementation of THE MONFORT PLAN can only take off if a country embraces the new approach to economic development and international cooperation. Spain might be the country that leads the paradigm shift in ECONOMICS, which would require a paradigm shift in POLITICS. This is the change proposed in BIENVENIDO MR MONFORT.
We are in transition from the era of politics to the era of post-politics that begins in 2012. It is a coup d’establishment that will begin a civilized war between Spaniards that have no clue (Espanolis) vs Spaniards who love and dream and imagine a better Spain to start with.
The decada prodigiosa begins in Spain in 2012. If Spaniards vote for change they might, as a country, skip the lost decade everyone in Spain is saying the country heads off towards. 2012 is within the Window of Opportunity that opens up on the Decem Date and ends at the end of 2015. This Window of Opportunity may not return. We might, as a global society, enter a time machine (Tardis) capable of accelerating trends and bring us to the World of 2050, a World of no hunger and disease, a World of Eutopia and Cornucopia, the World of Decemland.

Decemland is the land of ten percent. Decemland consists of the New International Territory (NIT) and ten overseas territories I call “Islands of Peace”. NIT is a one thousand square kilometer sovereign territory on mainland Africa that will host the new institutions of the new architecture of capitalism.
I explained what the new architecture of capitalism was all about to Nouriel Roubini during a 75 minute conversation last 14 May 2009 in New York City. Nouriel mentioned several times that the ideas presented in my forthcoming book were overly ambitious. He may be right. But if we are not the dreamers of today, we will never reach Decemland, the land of ten percent.
The four pillars of capitalism were defined in a previous article. They are dream, love, cornucopia and eutopia. Decemland embraces the best thinking of the social sciences. Decemland becomes the core of the new architecture, where the new institutions will be based: The Yunus-fund, the Decemfund, the Bank for the Poor, the New Institution and the World Fair Trade Organization. Decemland welcomes the reformed Bretton Woods Institutions, that should sooner rather than later leave the political centers of our time that bias their policymaking process. The World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the United Nations should leave Washington DC and New York City. The World Trade Organization should leave Geneva. They should relocate to where they always belonged, to Decemland, the land of ten percent.
We must dream and love. I welcome all dreamers to the journey of our lifetime. I said and will always say why not. I dared and will always dare, therefore I am. It is time to become men and women of stature and believe a better world can materialize. It is time to write the page one of the History of Tomorrow. It is time to look ahead instead of look behind. It is time to leave the fears of the baby boomers behind and embrace the developing world once and for all.
Decemland is no longer a utopia in my dreams. Decemland can materialize in 2010 if we dream awake, if we explore ideas that remained forgotten by the orthodox thinkers of our time, that live a life in black and white, that forgot to incorporate the love and the dream to their models, that undermined the ability of dreamers to persuade, convince and lead a new architecture that reforms first in the industrialized world before imposing our failed consensuses to countries that can barely breathe.
I get along well with the political and economic leaders of the developing world because I share their concerns. I shout the urgency of our time with the legitimacy of being European and having studied at the finest academic institutions of Europe and the United States. I am ashamed and as a result I react and propose reform, change, and forward-looking thinking with creativity and innovation. I am not afraid because I never had a reputation to lose. I am here to defend the interest of those that live in the developing world, of those that we decided to forsake for decades. It is time sleeping beauty, it is time to wake up and acknowledge the harm of our economic policies. We will never come together with the developing world if we perpetuate the existence of the current economic order.
I dreamt of a better world, I dreamt of a world of cornucopia and eutopia. I shall never stop this journey, the journey of our lifetime. Welcome dreamers, welcome to the new era that begins in 2010. It is time for the best team of expert dreamers to start building a new world, to start building the architecture of a redefined capitalism. It is time to defeat the pirates of heartless capitalism and write, once and for all, the History of Tomorrow.
