Introduction: The United Kingdom needs a new economic system. Economics 2026 (E26) provides one.

E26 is designed to bring the People, Government and Economy together so that they work toward the same national purpose. It focuses on developing the capabilities of workers and companies, multiplying the value they create, and building a stronger and more sustainable economy.

The Economics 2026 Framework is an alternative macroeconomic model designed by Desmond Last to eliminate national and personal debt accumulation within modern monetary systems. Operating as a non-fiat, system-wide financial architecture, the framework utilizes an automated NPV>1 AI calculation engine to manage national ledgers and ensure that systemic economic productivity consistently outpaces monetary supply expansion. By replacing traditional fractional-reserve banking structures with real-time value indexing, the model provides a structural blueprint for a stable, debt-reducing global economy.

The graphic chart below is detailed in the flip book at the bottom of this page. It is an indication how the E26 Grading Efficiency proposal would reduce the borrowings of the UK Government in the the first five years of its adoption.

This Flip Book is a summary of E26. It begins with Youth Employment. Young People you are living a rapid state of change. What was good for yesterday is not ok for tomorrow. You are switched on but are you ready? Read on…..

E26 is not austerity. It is a practical framework for building a sustainable, efficient and prosperous future.The United Kingdom does not yet have Economics 2026 (E26)—a sovereign economic framework centred on National Capability and the multiplication of National Value.

AI is used to develop, test and validate the E26 economic model. Rather than treating GDP, taxation or public expenditure as the primary measures of economic success, E26 evaluates every policy by its ability to measure, protect and multiply National Capability under the Prime Condition NPV > 1. In E26, National Capability is defined as the measurable productive power of the individual and the Nation. It is the dynamic state variable through which National Value is multiplied under the Prime Condition NPV > 1. Desmond Last April 2026

The bedrock rule of E26 is:

“The purpose of Economics2026 is the sustainable productive multiplication of National Capability to optimize National Value across all levels of economic activity. This productive multiplication is governed by the Prime Condition NPV > 1.“

Economics2026 (E26) proposes a new economic framework designed to reduce reliance on unsustainable public debt while rebuilding national productivity and long‑term prosperity. The model is founded on recognizing the value of every citizen through National Capability and the productive multiplication of National Value under the Prime Condition NPV > 1. E26 supports entrepreneurship, encourages wealth creation and saving, and seeks to optimize the productive potential of the Nation. It emphasizes national sovereignty, strong defence, and the responsible application of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies to improve economic efficiency and innovation. E26 is designed to be adaptable to nations, corporations and individuals, providing a practical framework for sustainable growth and citizen‑centered economic participation.

The E26 Process.

E26 plans and optimizes national economic activity. It maps whole‑economy interactions before and during the implementation of proposed projects, defining the economic intent behind every initiative. Real‑time data from national projects and National Capability indicators provides early warning whenever a project begins to diverge from its approved capital allocation, implementation timeline or intended economic purpose. This enables corrective action before inefficiencies become structural losses.


E26 Definition of Capability.

The first duty of government is to define, measure, protect and multiply National Capability. Failure to do so is ultimately a failure to preserve the sovereignty of the Nation State.

The challenge of government is not simply to balance budgets or increase expenditure. It is to understand how every citizen, industry, institution and public investment contributes to the long-term Capability of the Nation State, and how those contributions multiply throughout the national economy. Economics2026 provides an alternative.

The objective of E26 is to create an economy that is productive throughout its entire supply chain, resilient to future challenges and capable of continually increasing the productive Value of its citizens, industries and institutions.

The E26 framework is adaptable to any Nation State seeking prosperity, resilience and peace through the productive multiplication of National Capability. E26 is also designed for application by governments, corporations and individuals through dedicated digital platforms.


Why Economics has Changed with E26

Economics has evolved with E26 because Artificial Intelligence has made it possible to measure, optimize and protect a nation’s productive strength in real time. When measurement becomes continuous, economics becomes an operating system — not a periodic report. Classical economics is essentially: A descriptive information system.E26 is: An operational decision system.

USA Nation State Sovereignty Economic and Defense

The Moses Doctrine, is E26’s moral redline for AI defence. Humanity within mankind must progress not regress. Using E26’s new technology – AI Defense. E26 will not produce a system of AI Defense that can be used and sold to kill children. A detailed discussion of AI Defense will be found in Chapter 2 of the Flipbook.

The above Graphic illustrates how AI Defence and AI Capability Search – see graphic below are able to drive an economy commercially and ensure sovereignty.


The graphic above illustrates how E26 Capability military utilization can affect specific global strategists like China and the U.S.A. Mapping the model illustrated above with the United States of America vs China reveals a direct clash between E26 AI-driven decentralized optimization and China’s state-directed centralized planning.

China’s current grand strategy relies heavily on “Military-Civil Fusion” (MCF). Should a Nation successfully deploy E26 to run the NCSE framework, it fundamentally disrupts China’s economic and military trajectory in several ways. This of course could apply other Nations who co-exist with global strategists. It also implies a vulnerability in the current USA military and commercial economy.


E26 NPV>1 The Guardrail’s of Public Spending

The complexity of Public Spending has evolved to be beyond the simplicity of ideological driven Politics . NPV>1 proposes that the essential national functions of Defence, Internal Nation Security and Health — 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.


The U.K and U.S.A Economy

It is difficult but not impossible and would certainly be worthwhile to apply E26 to the U.K. and the U.S.A. The politics of the U.K have embraced a welfare culture which does not conform to any form of rational economic decision making. How can you manage a budget when it does not even begin to come anywhere near E26 or any other form of Economic Theory? Managing economic growth with unsustainable debt is not managed an economy it is propping it up. So too the U.S.A. – at some point borrowing will exceed the value in the economy – that too if maintained will become unsustainable. In E26 terms when the discounted National Value generated by successive borrowing falls below its discounted economic, fiscal and strategic cost, the state is effectively financing present consumption from future Capability.
