Home. Team Leadership - Chairman Orrin Woodward. Paul Zane Pilzer. Paul Zane Pilzer (born January 17, 1954) is an American economist, New York Times best-selling author,[1] and social entrepreneur. He has written nine books, has served in two U.S. Presidential administrations, is the founder of six companies, and he has been profiled on the front page of The Wall Street Journal.[2][3] Economic Viewpoints[edit] Traditional economic theories are based on scarcity: that the earth contains a fixed, limited supply of resources and the function of economics (i.e. capitalism, socialism, communism) is to best divide them up.
In contrast, Pilzer's theory of Economic Alchemy is based on abundance: that the earth contains unlimited resources because of human ingenuity—we are continually defining new resources and/or learning how to better obtain and use our existing resources. The central equation of Economic Alchemy is W = P x Tn : Wealth = Physical Resources times Technology, and T (Technology) has an exponential multiplier effect on itself.
