About PRI
Corporate capitalism is destroying our planet and concentrating wealth and power at record levels while causing millions to fall into poverty.
The Progressive Utilization Theory or Prout is an economic and social alternative that protects the environment, shares the resources of the earth equitably, and provides a high quality of life to everyone.
The Prout Research Institute develops practical projects and policies, raises consciousness, and trains people in this holistic model for the welfare and happiness of all.
“When the whole property of this universe has been inherited by all creatures, how then can there be any justification for a system in which someone receives a flow of huge excess, while others die for lack of a handful of grain?”
~ P.R. Sarkar, the founder of Prout

The roof trusses were installed just before the turn of the new year and the roof is now covered with tar paper. In the next couple of weeks, we will install the asphalt roof tiles and the deck planks. This is a big achievement towards getting the building ‘dried in.’ The last step is to install the windows and doors. – February 2023
