Redefining Prosperity: A Review of Buddhist Economics and Its Vision for a Balanced World

Migel Hewa Hansi Sandu Tharaka

Abstrak

Buddhist Economics: An Enlightened Approach to the Dismal Science by Clair Brown opens a new perspective on economics. Being a Buddhist from Sri Lanka, the majority of the population comes from Buddhism which means over 75% of the total population, I found this book very meaningful. Brown explains how economics should aim at reducing suffering and taking care of the environment rather than just generating income, which perfectly fits within the concepts of Buddhism. In this review, I will discuss the main messages of the book, what makes it strong and why it matters for the present world.
