- [What Can I, We, Do?](https://proutalliance.org/what-can-i-we-do/) - Historical Patterns of Change and the Possibility of Optimistic Agency. By: Sohail Inayatullah. Optimism is hard to maintain in many societies today, especially when the future envisioned in the 1960s – what the macrohistorian Immanuel Wallerstein calls “the social revolutions of the 60s” – of a green, gender-equitable, peaceful, and progressive society, seems to be facing a major setback. Theories from thinkers like Sarkar provide insight into these patterns. He argued that the end of the capitalist era can be observed through multiple signs: extreme exploitation, growing inequality, and the rise of the billionaire class.

- [“The Next Economy is Happening”](https://proutalliance.org/the-next-economy-is-happening/) - These days there is a big transition to worker-owned businesses, because the baby boomer business owners are all retiring.

- [World Government: From Vision to Reality](https://proutalliance.org/world-government-from-vision-to-reality/) - While it has been over 80 years since the world philosopher, P.R.

- [The New Economy Movement Comes of Age](https://proutalliance.org/the-new-economy-movement-comes-of-age/) - The publication of Growing a New Economy by Roar Bjonnes and Caroline Hargreaves[1] was a milestone in the history of Proutist literature because it was the first comprehensive introduction to Prout economics that firmly situated the Proutist agenda within the emerging New Economy Movement.
- [Solving the Inequality Gap: Progressive Taxation or Economic Democracy](https://proutalliance.org/solving-the-inequality-gap-progressive-taxation-or-economic-democracy/) - Since the late 1970s through 2020, writes Shontell, “compensation for chief executives rose 1,322 percent.” During that same period, however, annual worker compensation only rose by a paltry 18 percent. At the end of her editorial, Shontell asks: “Is [this] capitalism at its best? Or a bubble that’s finally ready to burst?”
- [Beyond Green Capitalism](https://proutalliance.org/beyond-green-capitalism-2/) - Since the publication of Schumacher’s green classic Small is Beautiful in 1973, the world has not become any more sustainable or greener. Despite the popularity of everything green, the corporations are ahead of the game and finding new loopholes to pollute and to pay less tax to maximize profit.
- [Technology or Digital Fiefdom?](https://proutalliance.org/technology-or-digital-fiefdom/) - Economic systems have constantly evolved, and have been influenced by human needs, socio-cultural norms, historical events, and technological innovations of their time. In the 21st century, tremendous innovations in digital technologies have had a great influence on how economies function. Digital technologies and smartphones have redefined the notion of market. Trade and commerce have moved online.
- [Is Inflation Just Part of the Ride?](https://proutalliance.org/is-inflation-just-part-of-the-ride/) - Inflation has been a cause for anxiety and real difficulty.

Coastal communities in Maine are facing significant climate change challenges, including flooding, severe storms, and socioeconomic effects.
- [Climate Change Impacts and Resilience](https://proutalliance.org/climate-change-impacts-and-resilience/) - A recent report by the United Nations: “Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction” with contributions from hundreds of diverse academics and experts from across the planet argues that we will be in a state of complete system failure by 2050 as well as climate collapse. That means that the intertwining systems of economics, transportation, government, education, science, and industry will cease being of any service to human and planetary welfare. By 2050 Major Climate Collapse will be irreversible.
- [The Ukrainian War, Strategic Interests and Monetary Systems](https://proutalliance.org/elementor-1261/) - The invasion of Ukraine, the indiscriminate destruction of civilian infrastructure, and the killing of innocent people are evil acts deserving of our unreserved condemnation. The fact that other powers, such as the United States, have engaged in similar actions at various times is no mitigating circumstance.
- [War, Geo-Sentiment, and the Future of Human Civilization](https://proutalliance.org/war-geo-sentiment-and-the-future-of-human-civilization/) - By Nina Shapiro As Proutists, we must embrace humanitarian approaches to social justice for all beings, to protect and defend the innocent and the vulnerable, and to focus on our commonality rather than our differences. We are one human family and we must embrace this wholeheartedly in order to survive, to move together into a preferred future and to evolve as a species.
- [Zero Proofed Turns Alcohol Culture on its Head](https://proutalliance.org/zero-proofed-turns-alcohol-culture-on-its-head/) - By Rebekah Moan One of the aspects that makes Prout so unique and revolutionary is that it’s an entire systems-change phenomenon. It’s a theory, a practice, a movement, a guide for living that focuses on creating a healthy, harmonious society that values all beings. One tangible way to do that is to create a space where people are in harmony with themselves. That’s exactly what sisters Priyanka and Chirasmita Kompella have accomplished with their business Zero Proofed.

- [The End of The Neoliberal Era](https://proutalliance.org/the-end-of-a-neoliberal-era/) - The possible decline of Neoliberalism stems from a number of factors. At the most practical level, neoliberalism has failed to produce the economic security that its adherents promised. This failure, in turn, has led to a deeper understanding of how markets actually work.
- [“AmaZen” will not bring peace to  Amazon’s workers and their communities ](https://proutalliance.org/amazen-will-not-bring-peace-to-amazons-workers-and-their-communities/) - While initiatives like ‘AmaZen’ claim to cater to spiritual wellbeing of employees, Amazon’s online business model has left communities bereft of local self-reliance, ruptured human connections, and kept people away from finding meaningful work that pays livable wages.
- [Prout Anchor Exercise](https://proutalliance.org/prout-anchor-exercise/) - It is often difficult to judge whether different proposals and theories in government, social media, or corporate media are credible and deserving of our support. Prout’s focus is always on what is benevolent for humanity and the planet. For this reason, we suggest using the following eleven criteria as a tool to help evaluate the worthiness of real world proposals.

- [Black Lives Matter](https://proutalliance.org/blacklivesmatter/) - All Black lives in the past have mattered. All Black lives matter now. All Black lives will always matter.

A civilized society must not tolerate such acts of violence.

- [Human Trafficking](https://proutalliance.org/human-trafficking/) - Human trafficking is a modern-day form of slavery — an extraordinarily lucrative illegal enterprise that is going on right now in small towns and big cities across the United States and around the globe. Although this is not part of the essential minimum requirements of Prout, strictly speaking, it goes to the core of economic and social justice and public safety for every community.
- [Education](https://proutalliance.org/education/) - Among the basic necessities identified by Prout, education, is unique. Food, water, health care and shelter are required for survival. Without education, however, people may survive while their society stagnates or even degenerates. In a well-functioning educational system, individuals can both thrive and grow.
- [Medical Care from the Prout Perspective](https://proutalliance.org/medicalcare/) - While the Affordable Care Act (ACA) may be annulled during the Trump Administration, it is important to review why health care is necessary and what may happen without it. The United States continues to lag behind the rest of the developed world in its health care system, with outcomes ranging between 37th and 70th among nations in the world. This, in spite of the fact that America spends over 16% of its GDP on health care, far above what most other countries spend, usually 5-10%.
- [Housing and Prout](https://proutalliance.org/housing-and-prout/) - In a Proutist society, local and state agencies will establish a system of “no persons or families left behind” in terms of housing, reflecting the fundamental spirit of moving together as one human society.

- [On Prisons & The Justice System](https://proutalliance.org/on-prisons-the-justice-system/) - The U.S. locks up more people than any other country in the world. In 2017, U.S. federal and state prisons housed over 2 million people, or 1.6 percent of the adult population.
