What is Balanced Capitalism?
Broadening Ownership. Preserving Capitalism. Sharing in Future Prosperity.
Balanced Capitalism is an economic and public policy framework that preserves the strengths of free-market capitalism while broadening participation in the ownership of productive assets.
The Plan proposes a system in which a prescribed amount of authorized but previously unissued non-voting shares of public corporations is allocated to a National Prosperity Fund (NPF). The Fund is designed to hold and steward these assets on behalf of eligible participants, allowing a broader share of the population to participate in the long-term growth of the American economy.
Balanced Capitalism does not seek to replace capitalism, nationalize private enterprise, or redistribute existing wealth. Instead, it seeks to broaden participation in future ownership growth while preserving entrepreneurship, private property rights, market competition, and free enterprise.
Its central principle is simple:
* Benefits flow from ownership.
* Ownership creates participation.
* Participation creates alignment.
The objective of Balanced Capitalism is to preserve capitalism, broaden ownership, and allow more people to participate in future prosperity.
