The '''Coase theorem''' is a logical truth about [[economics]] that is also immensely helpful in life.  It gives primacy to the future over the past, and predicts the triumph of optimal outcomes.  This reinforces the close proximity of happiness to those in anxiety or depression, by recognizing that present and future unlimited possibilities are available to all.  This theorem debunks hype about wealth; it matters little who owns what, or what the past was.  [[Infinity|Infinite]] healing is available to all to attain happiness or even [[paradise]] for the future.

The Coase theorem is a wonderful antidote for many forms of modern stress, from the [[stock market]] to personal setbacks.  The theorem emphasizes the irrelevancy of the limited past compared with the unlimited opportunities of the future.

This [[Nobel Prize]]-winning theorem confirms that everyone has an equal opportunity to accomplish good, regardless of property ownership, as demonstrated by the [[Bible]].  This insight relates directly to a full understanding of the [[Kingdom of God]] in the [[New Testament]].

In economic terms, the Coase theorem states that if property rights are well-defined and [[transaction costs]] (including costs of negotiating) are zero or negligible, then the most efficient economic activity will occur regardless of who initially owns the property rights.  Negotiation and market transactions will ensure the optimal allocation of property.  Simply put, '''''it means "build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door,"'''''<ref>The phrase is attributed to [[Ralph Waldo Emerson]], who [https://www.americanheritage.com/better-mousetrap said something similar].</ref> no matter who or where you are.  This is similar to the [[Bible|biblical]] "cast your net on the other side of the boat" that garnered [[infinity|infinite]] wealth.<ref name="Net">''See, e.g.'', [[Luke 1-8 (Translated)#5:4|Luke 5:4-7]]; [[John 15-21 (Translated)#21:6|John 21:6-7]].</ref>  This theorem also echoes the biblical exhortation, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the [[kingdom of God]].”<ref>Luke 9:62 ([[HCSB]]).</ref>  ''See also'' the parable of the barren tree, Luke 13:9<ref>https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Luke/13/9</ref>; John 15:2; Hebrews 6:7.

Past and present entitlements are nearly irrelevant to future activity, confirming the admonition of [[Luke 9-16 (Translated)#9:62|Luke 9:62]] not to look back at the past.  If a parcel of property is best used as a restaurant, a park, a library, or a school, it will eventually find that use no matter who owns it or what its prior uses were.  The Coase theorem states that the property will adopt its most productive use immediately, in the absence of transaction costs.  It confirms parables in the [[Bible]] about the hidden proximity of [[infinite]] happiness.<ref name="Net"/>

The Coase theorem is also a powerful antidote against the media, which falsely portrays some people as being more important than others.  Under the Coase theorem, equal opportunity is available to all, and there is no greater influence based on title, position, or wealth.  The Coase theorem is consistent with the concept of the "[[best of the public]]" and the prohibition in the [[U.S. Constitution]] against nobility.

Even [[Aesop's Fables]] sometimes illustrate the Coase theorem, such as ''The Fox and the Crow'' whereby the most productive use of the cheese occurs despite its ownership by the Crow.
