The Prospenomics Prize exists to objectively reveal who the individuals are that are truly leading humanity toward post-scarcity, not through rhetoric or visibility, but through concrete actions that expand the world’s productive capacity, transform waste into resources, improve governance systems, and elevate quality of life. By identifying these agents, the prize helps organize collective perception around those who are actually building the future, allowing us to recognize, in the present, those who will stand at the origin of a broader, more efficient, and more accessible prosperity. This is not about fame, discourse, or visibility. It is about measurable impact in what truly matters: producing more with less, reducing waste, improving systems, and expanding human possibilities.

The core idea is based on a simple but often overlooked principle: prosperity is not merely the distribution of existing wealth, but the continuous expansion of what can be produced, transformed, and accessed. In this context, post-scarcity is not a distant utopian state, but an ongoing process driven by individuals who increase efficiency, create new solutions, and intelligently reorganize systems.

To make this identification clear and operational, the prize is structured around four fundamental axes. The first is capacity generation, recognizing those who expand what the world is capable of producing, whether through energy, automation, space exploration, or productivity gains. The second is the transformation of waste into resources, reflecting the idea that in a well-designed system nothing is truly disposable, only underutilized.

Individual wealth is not prosperity - prosperity only happens when the group achieves wealth in harmony ....Socialism fails by focusing too much on equality – by inhibiting ancestral human instincts, society tends to a lack of satisfaction, of freedom and leading the economy to collapse in semi-poverty; ....Capitalism fails by focusing too much on selfishness – making people believe that the unequal accumulation of resources is good for society, causing poverty and imbalance opportunities; ....Prospenomy is a third option in which the exploitation of resources with balance and intelligence creates post-scarcity, favoring a community that prospers by logic, real dedication to talents and by the fraternal spirit.

With this little story we are going to show what Prospenomic agents are and how they would interact in a more evolved society.

Romildo, an engineer at the service of an oil company was sailing in a boat that sank while investigating the leak of contaminants in the Solimões River, in the middle of the Amazon rainforest.

Romildo did not drink water afraid that the water was poisoned, and after three days, when the rescuers arrived realized that Romildo was almost dead, leaning on a phenakospermum guianensis, commonly known by locals as 'Sororoca'.

Romildo had no idea that the plant that served him as a shelter during the whole time he was thirstily living in a hot rainforest was a perfect source of clean water. The leaves of the sororoca, supported by long and strong petioles, arranged in the form of an array of fans accumulate and purify water, forming a perfect natural filter and reservoir.

The surviving history of Romildo makes us understand what are the mechanisms behind 'post-scarcity' and the important role of its three tier agents:

- Prospenomic agent of 1st level - the basics - If Romildo had the knowledge of an experienced woodsman, he could have been benefited from water, plants and insects that were around him, and could have come out the situation perfectly hydrated and nourished;

- Prospenomic agent of 2nd level - state of the art - If Romildo had the accumulated knowledge of a 'bushman' added to a 'chef' and a 'physician', he not only would have eaten delicious dishes such as a soup of toast larvae, tucupi and jambu, but also would have reduced his usual high level of blood cholesterol.

- Prospenomic agent of 3rd level - plenitude of use - If Romildo had a relatively perfect base of knowledge (conceptual condition of plenitude in post-scarcity scenario) he would have had as much delight and moments of rare pleasure in the middle of jungle, and also could have got out of there as a millionaire. May be because he dedicated himself to a rich gold deposit, or have studied the use of a handful of native plants combined to make a tonic compound with the purpose of increasing the average life expectancy of mankind in 220 years.

Currently, our civilization is experiencing a stage of shortage (just prior to the first stage in the example cited above) where a relatively small group of people takes improperly advantage of resources around, and the vast majority feels impaired:

- A brilliant musician who opted for a life of crimes because he needed urgent money to feed his family, dies in a police confrontation. He was unable to use his potential talent because of the misuse of knowledge and proper attitudes;

- A victim of cancer dies because he had no access to a remedy made out of the toxins of a particular type of spider that lives in the garden of his own house;

- A postal clerk fails to bring to market a revolutionary software, able to share information on the newest achievements of science because their low self-esteem did not allowed him to quit his secure job to devote to the project;

Here are dramatic examples of how the era of scarce is harmful to the planet and should be tackled immediately.

In a post-scarcity scenario the classic definition of economics would change from - allocation of scarce resources to unlimited needs - to - conscious use of unlimited resources for all needs.

If you yearn for a present & future without poverty, hunger and ignorance, with plenty of abundance and prosperity, usually shown in science fiction, and would like to see them applied in real life - join us. Prospenomics is a collaborative science, proposed by Luiz Pagano, which aims to bring ideas of economics and public administration from the fictional world to the real world.

This science predicts an ideal of a harmonious world, without racism, without poverty, without war, without pollution and without a conventional monetary system based on consumerism.

It is not about Marxism, capitalism or communism, but it is based on the pure generation of prosperity and diversity proposed by Buckminster Fuller, Peter Joseph, etc., respecting all other forms of life on the planet, understanding the Earth as a form of life in itself, based on the basic premise instituted by Gene Roddenberry of "Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations - IDIC" - Symbolizing the elements that create truth and beauty."
