'''Progressive Utilization Theory''' or '''PROUT''' is the comprehensive social theory propounded by Indian philosopher and spiritual leader [[Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar]] (1921–1990). PROUT is not concerned solely with [[:wikipedia:Property rights|property rights]] and [[:wikipedia:Economics|economics]]. Rather, it encompasses the whole of individual and collective existence, not just for human beings but for all beings. Supporters of PROUT (proutists) claim that the theory overcomes the limitations of both capitalism and communism.<ref>Craig, Edward, ed. (1998). ''Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy: Sociology of Knowledge to Zoroastrianism''. Routledge (Taylor & Francis). ISBN 0-415-16916-X.</ref>

The main outline for PROUT<ref>Anandamurti, Shrii Shrii (1962). ''[[Ananda Sutram]]. [[Ananda Marga Publications]].

This includes the [[yogic]] tradition. As such, much of the new terminology employed by PROUT is expressed in Samskrta. And all of PROUT may be viewed as having a [[Spirituality|spiritual]], but not religious, foundation.

In 1962, Sarkar formally outlined PROUT in sixteen numbered [[Samskrta]] aphorisms (see Chapter 5 of ''[[Ananda Sutram]]''<ref>Anandamurti, Shrii Shrii (1962). ''Ánanda Sútram''. [[Ananda Marga Publications]]. ISBN 81–7252–027–1.</ref>). The last five numbered aphorisms (5:12–16) are commonly referred to as the ''five fundamental principles of PROUT''. These five principles are deemed to be ''fundamental'', because it would be difficult to get a clear understanding of PROUT without comprehending the underlying concepts of these principles, the interrelationship of the principles, and their respective areas of application.  
[[Ananda Sutram]] is the commanding authority on all of Sarkar's philosophy. There, in 1962, Sarkar formally outlined PROUT in sixteen numbered [[Samskrta]] aphorisms (see Chapter 5 of ''[[Ananda Sutram]]''<ref>Anandamurti, Shrii Shrii (1962). ''Ánanda Sútram''. [[Ananda Marga Publications]]. ISBN 81–7252–027–1.</ref>). The last five numbered aphorisms (5:12–16) are commonly referred to as the ''five fundamental principles of PROUT''. These five principles are deemed to be ''fundamental'', because it would be difficult to get a clear understanding of PROUT without comprehending the underlying concepts of these principles, the interrelationship of the principles, and their respective areas of application.

The [[#fp2|second fundamental principle]] of PROUT reduces economics to its two rudimental elements: production and distribution. To optimize production, PROUT prescribes maximum utilization of all resources, animate and inanimate. To optimize distribution, PROUT prescribes a rational approach (in contrast to [[:wikipedia:Adam Smith|Adam Smith's]] ''[[:wikipedia:Invisible hand|invisible hand]]''<ref>Adam Smith (1759), Section IV.1.10 of ''The Theory of Moral Sentiments''and Adam Smith (1776), Section IV.2.9 of ''An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations'' [http://www.econlib.org/cgi-bin/searchbooks.pl?searchtype=BookSearch&pgct=1&sortby=R&searchfield=F&grp=AllSmith&id=&query=invisible+hand&x=3&y=9&andor=and Library of Economics and Liberty].</ref> and [[:wikipedia:Karl Marx|Karl Marx's]] ''[[:wikipedia:To each according to his contribution|according to contribution]]'' or ''[[:wikipedia:From each according to his ability, to each according to his need|according to need]]''<ref>[[:wikipedia:Karl Marx|Marx, Karl]] (1875). [http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1875/gotha/ch01.htm "Part I"]. ''Critique of the Gotha Program''. Retrieved 2008-07-15.</ref>). To  implement such an economy, PROUT analyzes economics in respect to four dimensions: ''[[#People's economy|people's economy]]'', ''[[#Psycho-economy|psycho-economy]]'', ''[[#Commercial economy|commercial economy]]'', and ''[[#General economy|general economy]]''. Regarding these four dimensions of economics, Sarkar states:

{{Quote|''Most economists today understand only a little of the principles of general economy and something of commercial economy, but both of these parts are still in an undeveloped stage.
