Namaskar,

This is a reading of the book: Proutist Economics (a compilation)

PROUT’s economic system is built around one simple principle: increase the purchasing capacity of the common people. It guarantees everyone’s basic needs—food, housing, healthcare, education—while encouraging higher productivity through fair incentives, not forced equality. PROUT emphasizes cooperatives as the backbone of the economy to prevent exploitation, eliminate middlemen, and keep wealth local. It supports decentralized, region-based planning, so communities control their own development based on local resources and needs. Industry is balanced between public, cooperative, and private sectors, with full employment maintained through reduced working hours as technology advances. Trade, banking, and distribution of essentials are run through cooperatives, not profiteers. Overall, PROUT offers a humane, decentralized alternative to both capitalism and centralized socialism—focused on dignity, sustainability, and collective well-being.
