Abstract
This first volume of Understanding Prout - Essays on Sustainability and Transformation was published in 2009 to mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Progressive Utilization Theory by the eminent Indian philosopher Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar (1921-1990). Prout (an acronym for Progressive Utilization Theory) is arguably the only socio-economic theory to emerge out of the third world that has direct applicability to the developed world. It offers a new vision of society based on cooperation rather than competition and domination. Why describe these essays as about "sustainability and transformation"? Because, in society as in individual life, there is a constant struggle to maintain equilibrium while at the same time to learn and adapt to the new lessons that life throws at us. The challenge of the 21st century is to learn the lessons of climate change and globalisation. The essays in this volume are a refreshing contribution to that task. [Book Synopsis]
