Prout (Progressive Utilization Theory)

Prout, or Progressive Utilization Theory, is an economic and social framework that promotes equitable distribution of resources by encouraging wealth redistribution and community-based development. It emphasizes that everyone should have access to the necessities of life—like education, healthcare, and housing—while allowing individuals to pursue their potential. Prout aims to balance individual freedom with social responsibility, suggesting that wealth should be utilized progressively to reduce inequality and create a sustainable, just society. It envisions a system where economic growth benefits all, fostering cooperation and social harmony rather than focusing solely on profit maximization.
