Chapter Chapter 11 in The Economy of Goodness, 2024, pp 329-349 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses the concept of achieving equitable wealth through love and ethical economic practices. It critiques classical utilitarianism for its focus on material gains and argues for a balanced approach that combines material and spiritual wealth. The chapter draws on historical and philosophical contexts, suggesting that true wealth is not just about material accumulation but also involves a purified mental state and ethical living. It emphasizes the role of love and altruism in achieving a balanced and fair distribution of resources, advocating for an economy that promotes mutual benefit and avoids exploitation. This approach aligns with ideals from both Western and Eastern philosophical traditions, aiming for a society where economic actions are grounded in compassion and ethical principles, leading to sustainable and inclusive prosperity.
