prosperabais

Prosperabais is a fictional economic framework and policy concept used primarily in thought experiments and speculative discourse to explore how societies might organize sustainable, inclusive prosperity over multiple generations. It is not a real policy package but a construct designed to examine long-term well-being beyond traditional growth metrics.

Core principles associated with prosperabais emphasize durable prosperity, human development, and ecological resilience. Proponents imagine policies that invest heavily in education, health, and digital infrastructure while promoting fair labor markets and strong social protection. The approach favors transparent governance, participatory budgeting, and the use of well‑being indicators alongside or instead of gross domestic product to guide decisions. A key feature is the balance between robust public investment and productive private activity, supported by prudent fiscal frameworks and strategic, time‑bounded public spending. Climate adaptation and inclusive growth are typically central goals, with mechanisms for intergenerational equity and risk management.

Origins and usage in theory and teaching remain largely academic. The term emerged in online forums and classroom simulations in the 2020s as educators sought a holistic model for discussing sustainable development. It has since appeared in speculative fiction and policy-design exercises as a tool to compare outcomes under different governance arrangements, tax regimes, and investment strategies.

Critics of prosperabais, within the hypothetical discourse, point to concerns about feasibility, efficiency, and political viability. Critics also highlight measurement challenges—how to quantify long-term well‑being and intergenerational equity in real-world policymaking. Supporters argue that the framework helps clarify trade-offs and encourages policies that prioritize resilience and inclusivity.

Related concepts often linked with prosperabais include inclusive growth, sustainable development, well-being economics, and multi‑generational budgeting.
