Resolutionism 

Resolutionism is a theoretical social, political and economic system which is designed to save the world.

The creator of Resolutionism, is Aaron Nordquist, a Canadian author, sociologist and philosopher, and a social activist. Nordquist has expressed opinions on economics, politics and world events in his blogs, podcasts and books. He is the founder of the Save Our Earth Now foundation. Since the early 2000's, he has stated that his personal visions have been called many names, such as "democratic capitalism," "neo-enlightenmentism," and "libertarian socialism," but he prefers to simply call himself a "Resolutionist."

Nordquist is the author of "Resolutionism: How to Save the World" and "The Resolutionist Manifesto: Preamble to the Declaration of Universal Emancipation."
We here highly resolve to have a new birth of freedom, under the supports, practices and logic of the political, economic and social system named Resolutionism.
