PROSPENOMICS

Prospenomics, also known as Prospenomia, is the study of prosperity and its generators, aiming to pave a path towards Post-Scarcity. Through an economic and social approach that transcends the conventional paradigms of known economic theory, which often associates relatively low abundance with hard and inefficient work and fails to distribute well-being among individuals, paying little attention to the depletion of resources on the planet. The field of Prospenomics arises from the urgent need to rethink current economic and social models. To achieve this, we must study all known forms of prosperity, from intelligent decisions made in ancient times to the fictions of Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek, envisioning a future where prosperity is abundant, where no longer uses monetary fractions for the exchange of goods and services, and people work to satisfy their talents and ambitions for personal upliftment; or also the ideas of Buckminster Fuller, in which prosperity was not limited solely to the accumulation of material wealth or economic growth but rather ensuring well-being and sustainability for all forms of life on the planet.

When Politics Becomes More Important Than Human Bonds

 

It has become increasingly common to see people breaking friendships, distancing themselves from family members, and eroding personal relationships in order to defend political projects, leaders, or ideological narratives. This phenomenon does not represent healthy civic engagement — it is a symptom of an administrative model that is reaching exhaustion.


Prospenomics begins with an uncomfortable but realistic diagnosis: exercising public administration with the tools currently available inevitably involves, to a greater or lesser degree, three structural factors — ineptitude, corruption, and self-servience.

These factors do not arise solely from individual moral failures. They are the direct consequence of ancient systems operating in a radically transformed world. Our banking system, structured in the 15th century through the practices of the Medici family, remains fundamentally the same to this day. Our accounting system, formulated by Luca Pacioli in the same period, continues to underpin modern accounting. Even our democratic models, whose roots trace back to Solon and Cleisthenes, contain imperfections that are increasingly incompatible with the complexity of contemporary society.

None of this implies that these systems were failures — quite the opposite. They were extraordinary achievements for their time. The problem emerges when historical structures are treated as untouchable dogmas, even in the face of unprecedented technological, informational, and organizational advances.

The central proposal of Prospenomics is straightforward: to reduce ineptitude, corruption, and autosservience by structurally reducing scarcity, enabled by technological progress, automation, intelligent use of data, and administrative models grounded in evidence rather than tradition or narrative.

Within this context, the traditional division between left and right reveals its anachronistic nature. While historically useful for organizing political discourse and simplifying voter choice, it becomes limiting — and often counterproductive — when applied to the management of complex systems. Ideological “packages” may simplify rhetoric, but they frequently render public administration inefficient.

Reality does not operate according to ideological alignment. A Boeing 747 is not designed by placing engines on the fuselage because that is a “left-wing solution,” nor on the wings because it is a “right-wing solution.” The aircraft flies because it respects science, engineering, and the laws of physics.

Likewise, societies prosper only when administrative decisions respect the laws of reality. We should not fear the reevaluation of systems, nor treat institutional revision as a threat. On the contrary, taboos must be challenged if evolution is to occur.

When politics begins to justify the rupture of human bonds and the suspension of critical thinking, the cost is not merely social — it is institutional, economic, and civilizational.

Prospenomics proposes a transition: from administration based on scarcity, identity, and dogma to administration oriented toward technology, friction reduction, and respect for the laws of the real world.

Prosperity does not arise from idolization.
It arises from lucidity.
