Buddhist economics
Book Description
In a world where economic success is measured solely by financial metrics, economist and Buddhist practitioner Clair Brown offers a revolutionary perspective that bridges ancient wisdom with modern economic theory. Drawing from her dual expertise as a UC Berkeley economics professor and dedicated Buddhist, Brown presents a transformative framework that challenges conventional thinking about prosperity and progress.
This groundbreaking work reveals how traditional economic models fail to capture the essential human connections and meaningful experiences that truly define a fulfilling life. Rather than focusing exclusively on income and consumption patterns, Brown's innovative approach recognizes that genuine well-being encompasses values, environmental sustainability, and social equity.
Through her unique lens, readers discover how Buddhist principles can reshape our understanding of economic systems, creating models that honor both material needs and spiritual fulfillment. Brown demonstrates that measuring quality of life requires looking beyond national income statistics to embrace the deeper aspects of human flourishing.
This thoughtful exploration offers practical insights for anyone seeking to align their economic choices with their values. Whether you're interested in sustainable living, ethical decision-making, or understanding how spiritual principles can inform everyday financial choices, Brown's work provides a compelling roadmap for creating an economy that serves both individual well-being and collective prosperity.
Perfect for readers exploring the intersection of spirituality, ethics, and practical economics.
