In this innovative book, S. Niggol Seo investigates the intrinsic
and intriguing relationship between the fundamental teachings of
Buddhism and the principles of economics and happiness. Offering a
unique perspective on the topic, Seo delves deep into the
theoretical foundations of economics and Buddhist teachings,
highlighting how these seemingly polar opposite thought systems
cross paths. Seo argues that when it comes to markets, prices,
interest rates, growth, poverty, and environmental protection,
Buddhism and economics share a number of common economic ideas.
Written in an accessible style, Seo presents both a succinct and
encompassing description of Buddhism for economists, as well as a
comprehensive overview of economics. Buddha, Wisdom and Economics
brings together in a balanced and systematic way the common ground
between both endeavours. It further examines important topics in
the field in light of Buddhist teachings, including economic growth
and happiness, poverty and environmental protection. This
thought-provoking book will be an invigorating read for
undergraduate and postgraduate economics students and to those with
a particular interest in development economics, religion, welfare
and happiness studies. It also offers ground-breaking insights for
economic policy-makers looking to better understand the
intersection between Buddhism and economics.
