Abstract: Around 2600 years ago, Siddhartha Gautama—better known to the world as the Buddha, the enlightened one—laid down a path to overcome suffering and attain nibbana—freedom from the eternal cycle of birth, life, and death. Introduction to Buddhist Economics provides a succinct application of this path to reconciling the goals of economic growth and human well-being with ecological sustainability, a core concern of ecological economics.
