Protocols exist across various fields to set standards and, when followed, optimize operations and maximize benefits. Think of the internet’s TCP/IP, which allows different devices to communicate with each other. Similarly, the Mosaic Law or the teachings of Jesus can be viewed as protocols. When adhered to, they enhance our lives, relationships, and commerce. These protocols create culture, and culture creates the economy.

Many assume governments are the primary architects of economies, but they only set protocols or laws that influence cultural beliefs. While governments do influence economies through currency creation and manipulation, they don't have direct control. For instance, despite government regulations, black markets with their own distinct cultures and economies still thrive. Changing government regulations, like tax adjustments, can have unintended economic consequences. Historically, religious protocols, not governmental laws, have been the major force behind cultural and economic formations.

Economic prosperity isn't just a result of fiscal strategies or state policies but is deeply rooted in cultural beliefs. Societies emphasizing communal benefit over individual gain often witness superior economic outcomes. Today's societies are frequently ensnared by a system promoting self-benefit, causing subpar results. However, teachings from scriptures prioritizing love, mutual benefit, and unity can introduce transformative shifts in economies and cultures, presenting a refreshing take on finance. The Sweet Economy movement, inspired by these teachings, aims to usher in a new era of decentralized, relationship-focused commerce that can significantly transform society.

Unity isn't about uniformity in thought or action. Real unity manifests when economic value is shared, promoting mutual interests, which accelerates economic growth. True economic unity doesn't mean relinquishing all assets but understanding and applying principles from Leviticus 25, which sheds light on value that is restorative and guaranteed.
