The Ten Core Propositions of Charity Economicism

A Civilization-Oriented Economic System for Maximizing Life Value

Author: Frank Chen (陳俊吉)
Discipline: Charity Economicism / Civilization Economics
Status: Canonical Framework (2007–2026)

Preface

The Ten Core Propositions of Charity Economicism constitute the foundational architecture of the Charity Economicism framework, developed by Frank Chen through a series of theoretical works spanning from 2007 to 2026, including Reflections (2018), New Doctrine (I–X), New Theory, and Behavioral Awakening.

These propositions are life-value–oriented, aiming to transform economic systems from individual behavior to global institutional structures. Each proposition integrates philosophical meaning, behavioral guidance, classical wisdom from Eastern and Western thinkers, empirical applications, and extensions for the AI era.

Together, they form an integrated system that moves from spiritual essence (ontology) to practical application (function), seeking to correct the structural self-interest of capitalism and guide civilization toward compassion, equality, sustainability, and peace.

**Proposition 1

Maximize the Fundamental Right to Life Survival and Mental Balance**

Principle
Life value is not limited to biological survival but includes mental balance, dignity, and spiritual integrity. Capitalist systems often sacrifice vulnerable lives through structural poverty and psychological harm. Charity Economicism therefore prioritizes the maximization of life survival and mental equilibrium as the foundational right of civilization.

Behavioral Guidelines

  • Individual level: Daily reflection on how time and resources contribute to altruistic life value.

  • Institutional level: Legal guarantees for minimum life security, such as basic income and mental health protection.

Classical Wisdom

  • Master Sheng Yen: “Only by preserving life can one witness infinite hope.”

  • Liao Gang (Song Dynasty): “Though the world is vast, governance lies in the Way; though the seas are distant, governance lies in the heart.”

Empirical Application

  • Finland’s Happiness Index integrating economic output and mental well-being.

  • Taiwan’s National Health Insurance system as a preliminary charity economic practice.

AI-Era Extension
AI-based Life Value Index systems to predict and prevent mental collapse through stress and health monitoring.   

**Proposition 2

Maximize Equal Access to Education**

Principle
Education is the primary mechanism for life value enhancement. Capitalist commodification of education amplifies inequality; therefore, education must be treated as a public good rather than a market privilege.

Behavioral Guidelines

  • Individual: Knowledge sharing and voluntary teaching.

  • Institutional: Free higher education and universal access to digital learning platforms.

Classical Wisdom

  • Durant: “Failing to invest in education is choosing the wrong path.”

  • U.S. Declaration of Independence: “All men are created equal.”

Empirical Application

  • Nordic free education systems reducing inequality.

  • UN SDG 4 implementation worldwide.

AI-Era Extension
AI-powered personalized learning systems to bridge educational gaps for marginalized populations.

**Proposition 3

Maximize the Charity Economic System**

Principle
Charity Economicism reforms capitalism by internalizing compassion within economic institutions—transforming taxation, incentives, and corporate structures to reward altruistic value creation.

Behavioral Guidelines

  • Individual: Ethical consumption supporting charitable enterprises.

  • Institutional: Tax incentives for charity and mandatory CSR quantification.

Classical Wisdom

  • Yoshida Shoin: “In an unjust society, a man at peace is disloyal.”

  • Émile Zola: “There is no limit to the pursuit of justice.”

Empirical Application

  • Benefit Corporations (B Corps).

  • Community-based poverty alleviation programs.

AI-Era Extension
AI systems measuring economic externalities and dynamically adjusting fiscal policies.

**Proposition 4

Maximize Charitable Rights, Liberties, and Opportunities**

Principle
True freedom must not be achieved at the expense of others. Charity Economicism expands economic rights to include the right to do good, correcting Orwellian inequality.

Behavioral Guidelines

  • Individual: Exercising freedom with altruistic responsibility.

  • Institutional: Constitutional protection of charitable economic rights.

Classical Wisdom

  • Voltaire: “I disapprove of what you say, but will defend your right to say it.”

  • George Orwell: “Some are more equal than others.”

Empirical Application

  • EU data rights frameworks extended toward ethical data sharing.

  • Inclusive entrepreneurship policies.

AI-Era Extension
Bias-free AI systems ensuring equal access to employment and opportunity.

**Proposition 5

Maximize Planned Charitable Social Welfare Systems**

Principle
Welfare is not charity relief but a strategic investment in civilization stability. Planned systems maximize life value and prevent poverty traps.

Behavioral Guidelines

  • Individual: Participation in community welfare systems.

  • Institutional: Budgeting based on life value metrics.

Classical Wisdom

  • Nelson Mandela: “As long as poverty exists, there is no true peace.”

  • Li Mingfu (Song Dynasty): “Governance must focus on substance, not names.”

Empirical Application

  • Singapore’s Central Provident Fund (CPF).

  • UN Social Protection Floor Initiative.

AI-Era Extension
Predictive AI models for dynamic welfare allocation.

**Proposition 6

Maximize Green Earth Sustainability**

Principle
Nature is the foundation of human civilization. Capitalism externalizes environmental costs, threatening future life value. Charity Economicism integrates sustainability as an eternal moral responsibility.

Behavioral Guidelines

  • Individual: Low-carbon lifestyles.

  • Institutional: Green taxation and charitable climate finance.

Classical Wisdom

  • Su Shi: “Ignorance of causes invites chaos.”

  • Victor Hugo: “Forgiveness is humanity’s noblest language.”

Empirical Application

  • Paris Climate Agreement.

  • Circular economy legislation.

AI-Era Extension
AI climate modeling for sustainable investment optimization.

**Proposition 7

Maximize the Balance between Technological Innovation and Humanistic Spirit**

Principle
Technology is a means, not an end. Charity Economicism ensures innovation serves human dignity rather than eroding it.

Behavioral Guidelines

  • Individual: Mindful technology use.

  • Institutional: Ethical AI governance frameworks.

Classical Wisdom

  • Jürgen Habermas: Rational communication sustains democracy.

  • Yang Wanli: Public wisdom must exceed private interest.

Empirical Application

  • EU AI Ethics Guidelines.

  • Human-centered technology movements.

AI-Era Extension
AI auditing systems measuring social and psychological impacts.

**Proposition 8

Maximize Global Peace**

Principle
Peace is the precondition of all civilization value. Charity Economicism replaces violent competition with compassionate cooperation.

Behavioral Guidelines

  • Individual: Nonviolent communication.

  • Institutional: International charity economic alliances.

Classical Wisdom

  • Gandhi: “Violence yields temporary good, permanent harm.”

  • Isaac Asimov: “Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.”

Empirical Application

  • UN peacekeeping mechanisms.

  • European integration model.

AI-Era Extension
AI-driven conflict prediction and preventive diplomacy.

**Proposition 9

Maximize Compassion and Peace in Outer Space Civilization**

Principle
Charity Economicism extends beyond Earth, guiding humanity’s cosmic future toward compassion rather than militarization.

Behavioral Guidelines

  • Individual: Support space education and peace advocacy.

  • Institutional: Space treaties incorporating charity principles.

Classical Wisdom

  • Shakespeare: “Hope sustains life everywhere.”

  • Benjamin Franklin: “Hope is the source of life.”

Empirical Application

  • International Space Station cooperation.

  • Civilian-oriented satellite infrastructure.

AI-Era Extension
AI space governance simulations ensuring equitable cosmic resource sharing.

**Proposition 10

Maximize the Shared Global Civilization of Compassion and Wisdom**

Principle
The ultimate aim of Charity Economicism is a globally shared spiritual civilization rooted in compassion, wisdom, and mutual understanding.

Behavioral Guidelines

  • Individual: Knowledge sharing and intercultural dialogue.

  • Institutional: Global wisdom repositories and open civilization platforms.

Classical Wisdom

  • Erich Fromm: “Love contains respect, care, and understanding.”

  • Cao Yanyue (Song Dynasty): “Speech is the form of governance; its use is its lifeline.”

Empirical Application

  • Open science and open knowledge movements.

  • UNESCO cultural heritage sharing.

AI-Era Extension
AI-powered global knowledge networks enabling real-time translation and synthesis of human wisdom.

Conclusion

These ten propositions form a closed civilizational loop—from basic life rights to cosmic responsibility—constituting a measurable, governable framework for Life Value Index (LVI)–based policy, AI governance, and civilization-scale economic transformation.

They represent the canonical foundation of Charity Economicism as a next-stage civilization economics paradigm.
