Jay Stuart Snelson

Jay Stuart Snelson was raised and educated in Los Angeles, graduating from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1959.

Snelson's teenage concern for human survival motivated him to study social history, philosophy, theology, economics, and scientific epistemology in search of an answer to history's most critical and pressing social problem, namely, "How can the scope and scale of organized violence - whether religious or political - be limited to a level of destruction that no longer threatens to destroy civilization and the human species?" Lecturing on these issues for more than four decades, Snelson has shown that through observational analysis and verification, a greater understanding of social causality reveals a practical solution to the endless crises unleashed by war, poverty, and servitude.

His focus on finding workable strategies for resolving crucial social problems led to his development and presentation of proprietary seminars on a Science of Social Causation that identifies and verifies which social causes lead to which social effects. Causality identification and verification confirms the practicality and efficacy of win-win structures of social organization that maximize the causes of peace, prosperity, and freedom and minimize the causes of war, poverty, and servitude.

Jay Snelson passed away on December 21, 2011 after completing the final edit on his book. It is unfortunate that he did not live to see his book in print. His work is carried on through the Sustainable Civilization Institute, LLC, www.suscivinst.com.
