Economics for a Living Planet
Building the Architecture of Consent
The Urth Economics Project
Urth Economics explores how societies can balance progress with preservation. It studies the architecture of modern industry and reveals how innovation and stewardship must evolve together to sustain life, trust, and creative abundance on Earth.
This website is an open framework, a growing atlas of ideas and models that show how each major sector of civilization can mature beyond endless competition into cooperative mastery.
The Dual Industry Framework
Every economy contains two natural forces, one that discovers and one that sustains. The Urth model separates these into distinct realms. The innovative realm rewards discovery, invention, and verified advancement. The stewardship realm protects delivery, care, and accountability for the public good.
Innovation
Research, design, and invention thrive where creative freedom is protected and reward follows verified results.
Stewardship
Care, maintenance, and service flourish where trust and transparency guide purpose instead of rivalry.
Tier 1 Groups
The Tier 1 Group is the foundation of the stewardship economy. Each group operates as a transparent cooperative that delivers essential services like housing, health, energy, or mobility without competing for profit. They are accountable to shared standards of trust and excellence.
Industries in Transition
The framework applies to every major sector of civilization. Each is reimagined through the dual realm model, showing how purpose and prosperity can coexist.
Land & Housing
Reclaiming homes and land as shared trust, not speculation.
Finance & Banking
Restoring flow and fairness to the lifeblood of exchange.
Health & Pharma
Separating healing from profit to renew care as a public trust.
Energy & Extraction
Turning resource mastery toward renewal, not depletion.
Transportation & Mobility
Designing sustainable access and integrated public service.
Distribution & Retail
Restoring fair access and efficient flow by replacing competitive markups with transparent community-centered distribution.
Military & Security
Transforming defense from projection of power to preservation of peace.
A Broader Conversation
Urth Economics is part of a larger movement, the Urth ecosystem of education, art, and debate. The Steelman Arena explores competing ideas with fairness and depth. The Church of Urth cultivates ethical foundations for renewal. Together they form a single vision, a world rebuilt on trust, creativity, and consent.
