Introduction. This is Economics2026 (E26). My economic contribution to the New world that AI and new technologies brings to each of us. My AI tested and validated economic theory is one in which each of us is recognized as being of value to ourselves and our nation. It does not act against the entrepreneur by stifling bureaucracy nor does it punish wealth production and savings. Young people are not consigned to a life of wasted opportunity. I do not accept the argument of an aging population as the excuse for costly and wasteful immigration. I am 70 years old and in full-time work. E26 does not allow the State to use the citizen as a never-ending source of easy money to pay for more State debt as the answer to a failing economy. Unemployment is not used in my economic work because there is no unemployment – we all have a contribution to make to our society. It will not put illegal immigration before the right of the citizen to a roof, employment and a safe society. E26 is new, revolutionary and inspiring. It is Nation building with the People. A sovereign Nation with a Sovereign Defence. Whilst I recognize the importance of NATO and the USA as a union and allies I also see that in an uncertain World a strong independent military is a necessity for the United Kingdom. E26 can be applied to any Nation and corporation.
E26 with NPV>1 as a new and practical economic theory is unique in that it is totally ignored by media, Governments, Opposition Parties, Unions and economists.
In the process of being written E26 and the AI derived Economic engine of E26 NPV>1 will suit the economies of all Nation’s and can be micro-designed for global corporations. As President Trump and Australia have never acknowledged any of my writings E26 is not available to President Trump or Australia. It is of course available to all other Nation’s Presidents and Prime Ministers by agreement and public acknowledgment.
United Kingdom: New Economic Model
In the UK, Economics 2026 (E26) proposes a new economic framework aimed at ending unsustainable debt and rebuilding national productivity. This model emphasizes valuing individual contributions, supporting entrepreneurship, and avoiding reliance on state debt. It also stresses national sovereignty, strong defense, and the application of AI and technology to enhance economic efficiency. E26 is designed to be adaptable to other nations and corporations, focusing on sustainable growth and citizen-centered economic participation (Economics2026) economics2026.com.
A Nation’s Young People are the Nation’s future. Which is why the UK Young Person’s Unemployment Rate is 16.2% unemployment rate (Feb–Apr 2026) 735,000 unemployed young people (16–24) is indefensible.
| Age Group | Unemployment Rate | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 16–17 | 25.8% | ONS A05 SA (Feb–Apr 2026) |
| 18–24 | 14.7% | ONS A05 SA (Feb–Apr 2026) |
| 16–24 (combined) | 16.2% | ONS A05 SA (Feb–Apr 2026) |
From Despair to a Future – The AI videos show Liz AI an unemployed U.K Citizen Young Person seeking a future with the E26 App (under construction). E26 and hundreds of thousands of real young people of the U.K are ignored by the media, the Government and the Opposition Parties. E26 is a future for the Young Citizens of the U.K.
The UK does not need to rely on low‑productivity migration labour inflows to fill entry‑level roles. It needs to activate and uplift the young people it already has. E26 is the mechanism that converts inactive potential into national value.
E26 the system of economics. A economic system that is unable to maintain capability is not a system of economic management nor is it a system of economic control. Capability is the measurable productive value of a nation’s citizens, industries and institutions. A government that cannot measure capability is unable to protect it. A nation that has no legal guarantee of economic capability fails to remain sovereign. So too a Nation exists as a definition of its legacy to maintain defend and increase the capability of the Nation State and the Citizens. For that a strong sovereign economy is not a choice or an alternative but a necessity.
E26 Practical economics. Modern economic thinking and its piecemeal application by Governments does not define, measure or protect capability. This is the foundational failure of modern economics and of Government, particularly of the modern Government – Economics 2026 corrects the very obvious and public failure of the last 20 years of many Governments to produce manage and multiply an economy that should be productive throughout its entire supply process. It is easy to borrow and borrow and borrow and increases taxes on the citizen to infinity. However, easy means little thought is given to the whole economy effect. E26 is my alternative. My intention without complex explanation is to outline how E26 has the ability to transform an economy. You will not need a degree in economics to understand that E26 is an alternative to the failed economic rationale used by Governments.
My views on the World on Quora – over 3.7 million views.
The E26 journey begins at the shovel, the computer, the supermarket till, the deck of a Royal Navy destroyer, the Police Station, the Court, the library, the school, the steel mill, the shipyard, the corner shop, the fish and chip shop, the hundreds of thousands of business and workplaces of the United Kingdom. It is where it all begins – with you the Citizen and your hard work. That is where your labour becomes a value. A productive value for the economy of your Nation. This is where E26 begins. The Nation is you – the People. That is why your hard work must be protected, invested and multiplied. It should not be wasted. Welfare comes after your value is realized not before. Welfare has developed into an industry which does not pay for itself. Welfare of course – but not funded by ever-increasing debt. An Increasing unsustainable level of Debt is a function of a politically selfish inefficient and intellectually challenged Government.
My Draft Future for the Young people of the United Kingdom. See Flipbook below. Still in draft. More to Follow.
The graphics above illustrate how Sovereignty at the monetary level and of the defence of the United Kingdom (applies to any Nation or global corporation) is maintained throughout the productive process of E26 and NPV>1. The Citizens are the heart of the Nation. A sovereign identity that is forged by the partnership of the Citizen and the State. An economy built with a legacy of endeavor and sacrifice. A sovereignty must have a productive economy if the defence of the Nation is to be strong. Burden the efforts of the Citizens with unsustainable debt then the value of the Citizens efforts loses value. The Nation’s economy becomes weak and unable to afford its sovereign independence.
2026 NPV>1 example: The cancellation of U.K Digital ID without considering using it to reduce the Black Economy is an example of why political necessity is often an economic disadvantage. This is a very basic application of NPV>1. The Digital ID programme could instead have been adapted for Non‑citizens already holding digital immigration status. Extending this into a secure Digital ID for non‑citizens only would provide a unified identity layer across employment, housing, banking and public services. This would strengthen identity verification, reduce illegal working, shrink the Black Economy, increase tax compliance, deter organised criminal entry, and disrupt people‑trafficking networks.
The complexity of Public Spending is now beyond the simplicity of Politics and the vested interest of Party ideologies. NPV>1 proposes that essential national functions — Defence, the NHS and Policing — be removed from short‑term political cycles and placed into stable, all‑Party 10‑year agreements, with decisions made through consensus rather than adversarial voting. This provides continuity, capital discipline, and long‑term planning beyond the volatility of political turnover.
