Part 1 — The Foundation
The original case for a citizen-owned global fund: why it should exist, what it would own, and the dividend mathematics that make it possible.
99 Humanity Fund
A documentary project on collective economic ownership and the global majority.
What this project is
The 99 Humanity Fund is a long-form documentary project that proposes a global economic institution owned equally by every human being — and walks through, honestly and in detail, what it would take to build it.
The case is structural rather than aspirational. Across seven parts, the series examines what the institution would own, how it would compete with concentrated private capital, how it would govern itself, how it would resist capture, and what its first decade could realistically look like.
The series
Part 2 — The Fund as Institution
Eight sub-articles addressing how the fund actually works as a real institution — what it is, what it owns, how it competes, how money flows, how it gets built, what stops it from being corrupted, and what the first decade could look like.
Part 3 — Manufacturing Redistribution
A quantitative analysis across 193 countries and 20 product categories, showing how the fund could redistribute manufacturing employment globally without disrupting the regions that currently host it.
Parts 4 through 7
In development. Future parts will cover pricing and wages, services and the half-shift economy, the transition path, and the strongest critiques of the proposal.
How to read
Each part stands on its own. Readers can begin with any part that interests them, though Part 1 lays the foundation that the others build on. Parts can be read in a single sitting or across many — they’re written to reward both.
The full series, when complete, will run to roughly 120,000 words. It is a slow document for a serious question.
