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?”
What is Prout?
The Progressive Utilization Theory (Prout) envisions a society where resources are shared equitably, the environment is protected and a high quality of life is guaranteed for everyone.
Recent Prout Perspectives
Over the past year and a half, I have worked with several coastal towns in Maine to collectively identify and prioritize climate-action project areas to make the communities more resilient to the climate crisis. Coastal communities in Maine are facing significant climate change challenges, including flooding, severe storms, and socioeconomic effects.
Campaign for the Prout Research Institute
The Prout Research Institute is raising funds to complete construction of a 2,500 sq. ft building in Marshall, North Carolina, 30 minutes drive from Asheville. The building will enable research into the practical applications of Prout, and be a hub for staff and interns to live and work together. Located on the Neohumanist College of Asheville campus, it will also serve as the headquarters for Prout Alliance. Join us today!
