New integrated search term: readings about solutions for a prosperous world
The proven process of intelligence is not secret, not federal, and not expensive. Thinking is free. What matters is the strategic analytic model guiding the thinking; the ability to collect, process, and analyze truthful information; and the ability to visualize and otherwise shape the findings so that they lead to coherent sustainable affordable action. Below are two master book review lists, following by a very tight selection of core reference books that are recommended.

To find solutions, you need to be able to think holistically and understand the true cost of everything. This entire web site is about intelligence with integrity — that is “root.”
The world is already prosperous, the problem is that secular corruption misdirects 90% of the wealth to 10% of the people, and also causes 50% waste across most mission areas.

Hence, to create a prosperous world at peace, a world that works for 100% of humanity (Buckminster Fuller), one must:
1) stop corruption
2) stop the excessive waste (50% of every dollar) on agriculture, education, energy, health, “justice” and “security”
3) end dysfunctional taxation that is actually used to further corruption (special interests buy the regulations they want), substitute the Automated Payment Transaction Tax instead.
4) in order to achieve 1 – 3 above, we have to connect the five billion poor to the Internet, educate them one cell call at a time, for free, and then get out of their way — they will create infinite wealth with their inherent imagination and entrepreneurial energy — our task is to develop ways and means for actualizing the distributed intelligence of the public that can be migrated to the five billion poor. Put enough eyeballs on it, and no act of corruption or waste will go unnoticed. Refs: C.K.
