PROUT seeks the welfare and happiness of all. The theory is not concerned solely with economics but encompasses the whole of individual and collective existence - physical, educational, social, political, mental, cultural and spiritual - not just for human beings but for all beings.
The phrase Progressive Utilization Theory summarizes a great deal of its plans. "Progressive" implies that Proutist plans must flexibly change to the specific time, location, and situation so as to best meet the needs of all sides of society and environment. "Utilization" implies maximum utilization of available resources, and 100% employment of people able to work. This does not mean extracting the maximum amount of natural resources, but rather using and re-using materials which are already being cycled through the system of consumption. Similarly, full employment would utilize those from within a given area rather than outsourcing work to other regions.
Rational distribution is another core aspect to Prout, referring to distributing the materials and products of the land and market in a manner that helps the largest number of people develop to their personal and community potential. This also represents the flexible thinking of Prout in the ways that it recommends necessary materials to be distributed in ways that would facilitate accomplishing the goals of a day's work.
According to P. R. Sarkar, cooperatives are considered the best economic structure for human society. If individuality dominates human life, it will "adversely affect the environment, the welfare of different groups and even the continued existence of humanity."
The Prout cooperative system is founded on the principle of “coordinated cooperation,” where free human beings with equal rights and mutual respect work together for the welfare of all. In a system of “subordinated cooperation," on the other hand, people work individually or collectively but are under other peoples’ supervision. According to Sarkar, true coordinated cooperation does not exist in the present capitalist or communist systems.
Cooperatives often fail in capitalist economies due to unethical behavior and economic centralization. Also, people are skeptical of the cooperative system in an environment of exploitation, corruption, and materialism. Furthermore, cooperatives are forced to compete for markets and supplies with large, global corporations. Despite these obstacles, there are thousands of successful cooperatives operating throughout the world today. Probably the most notable network of cooperatives is located in the Mondragon area of Basque Country, Spain.
According to Sarkar, cooperatives will succeed if they have ethical leadership, strong management, and the people’s whole-hearted acceptance of the cooperative system. Moreover, members must have similar interests, share a common economic structure, and demand similar necessities. Lastly, cooperatives need ready access to suppliers and markets for their goods and services.
A Proutist society would seek to meet these needs by ensuring that everyone is working in a way that will meet their basic needs, rather than through hand outs or a trickle-down methodology. If the government of a Proutist region guaranteed 100% employment, and accompanied this with a minimum wage that realistically provided enough funds for the purchase of a suggested minimum amount of each basic necessity, then everyone would be able to purchase their basic necessities.
Prout does allow for welfare checks to be distributed to those who are truly unable to work.
The businesses of a Proutist economy would be government run energy facilities, many worker-owned businesses, and occasional micro credits and small businesses.
#There should be no accumulation of wealth without the permission of society. #There should be maximum utilization and rational distribution of the crude, subtle, and causal resources. #There should be maximum utilization of the physical, mental, and spiritual potentialities of the individual and collective beings. #There should be a proper adjustment among the crude, subtle, and causal utilizations. #Utilizations vary in accordance with time, space, and form; the utilizations should be progressive.
