About this project

What this is

The 99 Humanity Fund is a long-form documentary project examining the case for, and the institutional design of, a global economic institution owned equally by every human being.

The project is structured as a series of essays — currently three parts complete (and visible here), with four more in development. The complete series will run to roughly 120,000 words and is intended as a serious work of political economy rather than a manifesto or a movement.

Who this is for

The series is written for readers who are willing to engage with structural arguments about how the global economy could be organized differently. It assumes the reader has noticed the patterns of the past two decades — concentrated wealth, captured politics, recurring wars whose financial motivations have become hard to ignore — and is looking for a credible institutional response rather than a sentimental one.

The series does not assume the reader already agrees with the proposal. The articles engage seriously with skepticism, name the failure modes honestly, and try to earn the reader’s attention rather than demand it.

How the project is produced

The series is written by an independent author working outside any institution. The articles are first drafted, then refined across multiple revisions, then published here and on Substack simultaneously.

The website is the canonical home for the work. Substack provides email distribution and discussion for readers who want notifications and conversation. Both link to each other.

How to engage

Read the articles. Share them with people who might find them useful. If you have substantive criticism, push back through the Substack comment threads or by reaching the author directly.

This is, deliberately, not a campaign asking for action yet. The first work is intellectual: to see whether the proposal can survive serious scrutiny. If it can, action follows. If it cannot, the proposal should change or be abandoned.
