Humanity’s graceful and inspired strengths are far more powerful than its conflicted traditions/fixations. There is a kind of meta-economic science of living through power with restraint. The process advances peace, including through warrior skills ("Aikido"). The goal is to diffuse inspired choosing - to diffuse empowerment. Applying the metaphor of Aikido we propose a meta-economic system science with the following dimensions:

1. Aikido Activism – a strategic change approach (an applied science) that employs energies of current tradition to evolve tradition through grass roots Aikido Enterprises and through top level policymaking evolution to Aikido Capitalist policy.

2. Aikido Enterprise – a specific Aikido form of Social Enterprise in which a business is operated on principles of Aikido Activism. Leading the charge are businesses with strong intellectual property values.

2. Aikido Philanthropy - specific Aikido form of Strategic Philanthropy in which a philanthropic intiative is operated on principles of Aikido Activism. Leading the charge are philanthropic activities with strong intellectual property values.

3. ~~ the Aikido Movement - the diffusive, yet cohesive, campaign of Aikido Activism.

4. Aikido Culture - a culture of empowered peace, manifest as the spirit, rigor and science behind individual initiatives of Aikido Enterprise and Aikido Policymaking grow progressively more diffused through an expanding Aikido community (the Aikido Movement), together with the advancement of these efforts of Aikido Activism . Scientific rigor is advanced through the economic sociology of metaphorical Aikido, with a heritage intersecting Stiglitz, Granovetter, Hayek, et al.

6. Aikido Policymaking / Aikido Policies

7. Aikido Capitalism – a policy objective of stewardly, transparent business (targeting both the ~~de facto social contract and voted or legislated, enforceable policies and practices). Grass roots Aikido Enterprise efforts are complemented by policymaking efforts of Aikido Capitalist policy, and vice versa.

8. Aikido Globalization – a new global movement towards unification, inclusion and diffusion of inspired choosing via Aikido Activism, Aikido Enterprise, and Aikido Capitalism.
