The Economy of Wellbeing

The paradox of our time is the existence of the World Economy of Great Wealth combined with worldwide inequality, exclusion, environmental degradation and anomie. Outlining influential figures from the course of philosophy Sachs presents Aristotle’s Principle of Eudaimonia as an early promising path. The new global economic vision does not aim for the wealth, but the Wellbeing of Nations.
