I didn't read the whole of Peter's post, but it sounds like the schemes embodied in Pound's Cantos and in the various economists Pound drew on. A recur5rent line in the Cantos is something like, "So the government could pay dividiends." Not only does the state not need taxes, but it can pay a dividenc. I never got around to exploring the details of this, though there are, I believe, two or three books o the economics of the Cantos.
