The Global Prosumer Alliance
Well all this consumer empowerment is not going to happen overnight and without work and communication, and that’s why we have created the Global Prosumer Alliance, or GPA. The GPA is an alliance of individuals and institutions that have varying political preferences but are unified in a common belief: True democracy happens through exercising your right to have your spending and investment represent your political values! That’s right – put your money where your mouth is! And now, thanks to the internet and big data analytics, we can organize on a global scale as an alliance with a common belief. Forget about politics folks, this is for everyone and is about true global democracy!
Mission Statement
- Fact: Real political power can be created by consumers and institutions methodically pooling their spending and investment
- Mission Statement: “Create a platform that aggregates different prosumer (aka proactive consumer) political values and integrates them with expenditure apps and investment/reinvestment through flexible political investment indexes“
- Problem: Consumer and institutional spending and investment under valued in local and global marketplace
- How: We have created a Global Prosumer Challenge where individuals and institutions pool their preferential spending and investment through political indexes, kind of like a political stock market crossed with a computer game (like fantasy football!), to demonstrate the concept and global magnitude and impact.
- Result: The Global Prosumer Challenge will lead to an actual Global Prosumer Marketplace and bring in creative apps, alliances with different political investment firms, and be expanded to a real "digital" marketplace where the indexes have real monetary value and dynamically move on a day to day basis depending on the participants and the politic indexes. Global corporations will feel the impact and respond according to a true democratic marketplace, and the one way communication of advertising from corporation to consumer will be balanced. The Global Prosumer Marketplace will run on a single digital currency thereby creating a true global democracy with participation from willing prosumers, and corporations will alter their behavior accordingly so as to maximize their profits within the Global Prosumer Marketplace.
