What's it all about?

Supporters of capitalism say that despite greed, selfishness and exploitation inherent in the system, it is the best that we have. History has shown that communism, seen as the only alternative, is perhaps worse, both in violating human rights and bringing about economic misery. But is there really no other alternative?

We believe that PROUT is a better alternative to both capitalism and communism. It provides guiding principles and practical strategies for economic growth in harmony with ecological sustainability. Most importantly, PROUT calls for economic democracy which will give economic power to people and their communities rather than the owners of capital (in capitalism) or the one-party state (in communism).

Join us in the movement for economic democracy.

After joining the group, what next?

I hope the editors, Michael Towsey and Jake Karlyle, and the contributing authors continue this good work and produce many more volumes.

Minimum income standard in Britain in 2009

New report published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation shows that "minimum cost of living is rising at twice the rate of inflation".


Some key findings are:



  • A single adult with no children now needs to earn at least £13,900 a year before tax to reach the minimum standard. This is a £500 rise from 2008; nearly half of this extra income is needed for the rising cost of food.
