What is PROUT?

Prout is the acronym for Progressive Utilisation Theory.  It is a social and economic theory developed in 1959 by the late Indian scholar-author and activist Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar.  Mr. Sarkar sought a practical alternative to the theories of Marxism (communism) and Capitalism.  Prout is based on universal values recognizing and protecting the rights of all to the fulfillment of their basic needs; the protection of the environment, plants and animals; and a dynamic, incentive-based multi-tiered economy with local and cooperatively-employee-owned enterprises at it core.  It encourages a balance in the effort of satisfying individual and collective needs.  No one should be left behind as society marches forward.  For more info, please refer to the section on Prout Theory below.
