About the Institute
The Sustainxiety Institute is a research and applied knowledge initiative dedicated to understanding the forces that shape human behavior, economic systems, technological transformation, and long-term societal continuity.
At the center of its work is the development of the Economic Theory of Humanity (ETH), a structured framework that examines how the fundamental human forces of Hunger, Fear, Sustainxiety, and Alpha interact with evolving economic terrains.
Through research publications, interdisciplinary dialogue, and collaboration with scholars and institutions, the Institute seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of how humanity can navigate technological transformation while preserving continuity, stability, and human dignity.
