Prosperism

noun - uncountable

A socio-economic philosophy and theory proposed by author Jonathan Bluestein, in his book of the same name, from the year 2020. Prosperism is a type of Capitalism in which minor limitations of wealth, in tandem with less government intervention and regulation, shift the social dynamic between human beings in a given society, for the better.

Examples for usage:

Earl explained to his friend Tom about Prosperism - a form of Capitalism less radical and more benevolent than Neo-Liberal Economics.

Prosperism is a socio-economic theory which does not identify with any pre-existing political or economic model.

Joshua mistook Prosperism as a type of Socialism, but quickly realized that this was far from being true.
