ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What wisdom can Buddhism provide in today’s world? That’s the subject of Buddhist Economics, by UC Berkeley Professor of Economics, Clair Brown.
Professor Brown’s book opens with three Buddhist teachings: that people are caring, people are interdependent with people and nature, and all life is impermanent. Clair believes that if we take those three basic assumptions, we can turn free market economics on its head which is good for you, me and all our aunties and uncles.
