99% of Humanity Global Fund

A documentary essay on collective economic ownership in capitalist economies.

What this project is

The 99% of Humanity Global Fund is a long-form documentary essay that proposes a global economic institution owned equally by every human being — and walks through, honestly and in detail, its impact and 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.

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.
