Quadri-dimensional Economy

P.R. Sarkar
A developed economy should consist of four parts – people’s economy, psycho-economy, commercial economy and general economy. This quadri-dimension of the economy is a vast expansion on the contemporary and co-contemporary conceptions of economic activity.

Proper Utilization

From Samaj, a New Dimension on Politics, published by Proutist Universal Global Office.
The concept of utilization is not new. However, PROUT’s concept of utilization of all resources is unique.

Progressive Utilization

Acarya Krsnasevananda Avadhuta
By its very name PROUT reveals the spirit of its motivation, utilization. To use things, use people, to get everyone, everything and everywhere into the action.

6th Social Principle of PROUT

Reversing the movement of the social cycle by the application of tremendous force is called counter-revolution.

If, within a very short time the social cycle is turned backwards by the application of tremendous force, such a change is called counter-revolution (prativiplava). Counter-revolution is still more short-lived than counter-evolution.

5th Social Principle of PROUT

Counter-evolution is the application of force to turn the flow of the social cycle in the reverse direction.

If any era reverts to the proceeding one by the application of force, such a change is called counter-evolution (vikranti). For example, the establishment of the warrior (ks’attriya) era after the intellectual (vipra) era is counter-evolution, …
