Overarching Theme: Redefining Success |
||
In today’s globalized world, too much emphasis is placed on economic success, measured in terms of material wealth. What gets overlooked is that GDP and other economic activities are means to ultimate ends, not the ends themselves. We need to redefine success in terms of the wellbeing that is generated by our activities and how this wellbeing is distributed across populations and generations. Such a redefinition can lead to new approaches toward achieving fair and sustainable prosperity. It can also uncover new opportunities for human cooperation.
