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 Framework proposes a system in which prescribed ownership interests in economically significant public and private enterprises are allocated to a National Prosperity Fund (NPF). For publicly traded corporations, these allocations generally consist of authorized but previously unissued non-voting shares. For qualifying private enterprises, the Framework utilizes equivalent non-controlling economic ownership interests appropriate to the enterprise's organizational form.

The National Prosperity Fund is designed to hold and steward these assets on behalf of eligible participants, allowing a broader share of the population to participate indirectly in the long-term growth and productive wealth of the American economy.

Balanced Capitalism does not seek to replace capitalism, nationalize private enterprise, transfer operational control, 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.

By extending these principles across both publicly traded corporations and qualifying private enterprises, Balanced Capitalism seeks to create a broader and more durable foundation of economic ownership.

The objective of Balanced Capitalism is to preserve capitalism, broaden ownership, and allow more people to participate in future prosperity.
