Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - It is utopian to represent the economy as a place in which human happiness is as paramount as profit. That is the opinion of many who might pick up this book. This truism, analogous to the argument that Gross National Happiness is utopian, is, however, confronted by the actual situation of our economy today. Our globalized society, with its Gross National Product, turns out to be a dystopia. Our globe has indeed become a place where it is no longer that pleasant to live. From burned-out people at the workplace, via the gap between the northern and the southern hemisphere, to our threatened environment: there is not much left of the utopia of the free market. The aim of at least the last fifty years, since the Club of Rome, of transforming it into a sustainable economy is failing. In this book, we find a plea for economic practices as elaborated in the Social Economy, the Purpose Economy and the Economy of Communion. Time and again, these are manifestations of an economic transition which, to a greater or lesser degree, no longer focuses exclusively on principles such as scarcity, individualism or utility. Responsibility, the interpersonal and authenticity are at least as central. Each time, they are concrete challenges that are the pertinent responses to the tension between utopia and dystopia. It is not a matter of fanatically reversing all economic activity in our globalized society in the direction of an economy of meaningfulness. But the unmistakably obvious challenge for our economy that the alternatives represent has something of an appealing urgency.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The core questions of philosophy about the origin of the world and people, the distinction between good and evil, and the meaning of life - these questions keep us all busy. In this introduction to philosophy, these three questions lead our journey. You want to understand the world and man. Then you try to acquire an outlook on the proper course of action. Perhaps you especially hope to gain insight into the meaning of your own life. And our society, as well, repeatedly collides with questions of its economic, social, and ecological limits. Again and again, philosophy is the necessary condition for finding answers in a rational manner to the demands for in-sight, outlook, and the search for meaning. This is a fascinating story of more than 2,500 years of thought, where the reader might feel inspired to add his or her own responses to the most important personal and social questions. But also to ask new questions - the point of philosophy.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book examines frugality as an ideal and an 'art de vivre' which implies a low level of material consumption and a simple lifestyle, to open the mind for spiritual goods as inner freedom, social peace and justice or the quest for God or 'ultimate reality'. By rational choice we can develop a more frugal and sufficient way of life, but material temptations can always overwrite our ecological, social and ethical considerations. But the spiritual case for frugality is strong enough. Spiritually based frugal practices may lead to rational outcomes such as reducing ecological destruction, social disintegration and the exploitation of future generations.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The centenary of E.F. Schumacher's birth (1911-1977) offered an urgent opportunity to revisit his work and life. Against the background of the crisis at the beginning of this century, reconsidering Schumacher's Small is Beautiful or frugality paradigm makes clear that advances in responsible economics continue to be a priority. This book contains the proceedings of the 2011 Annual Conference of the European SPES Forum on 'Responsibility in Economics and Business: The Legacy of E.F. Schumacher', which was organised in September 2011 by the Centre for Ethics of the University of Antwerp in collaboration with the Business Ethics Center of Budapest. The aims of this conference were to celebrate the 100th anniversary of E.F. Schumacher's birth and to engage with Schumacher's vision to help address the present need for responsibility in economics and business. The answers to our current economic crisis presented in this book prove that the legacy of an economist and philosopher like Schumacher are not confined to a utopian economic paradigm. Utopian economic paradigms are concerned with a better economic situation in the future. Schumacher reconsidered today, however, makes it clear that society needs responsible economics invested in the sustainability of the globe, right now.

Kalmthout Pelckmans 2016 Softcover, 160pp., 16.5x24cm., in zeer goede staat (omslag met lichte gebruikssporen). ISBN 9789463370233. De zin van het leven zoeken in economie is een utopie. Als we denken aan het aantal uitgebluste werknemers, de kloof tussen rijk en arm en ons bedreigd milieu, dreigt de utopische idee van de vrije markt als het geliefkoosde economische format meer en meer te evolueren naar een dystopische realiteit. De negatieve effecten van onze mateloze economische zin om schaarste te lijf te gaan, nodigen ons vandaag, met z?n allen, uit om onze verantwoordelijkheid op te nemen. Samen moeten we kiezen voor een transitie van onze economie. Dit boek, dat het eerste deel uitmaakt van een trilogie, doet ons de zin van een deugddoende job, een band met onze medeburgers en een duurzaam leefmilieu herontdekken. Vertrouwen blijkt hierbij het sleutelwoord te zijn. Vanuit verschillende hoeken worden we aangesproken om onze verantwoordelijkheid vanuit een onverbrekelijk vertrouwen op te nemen. De atheïst doet dit via solidariteit, een religieus iemand vanuit naastenliefde en de boeddhist via mededogen. Zo overschrijden we ons naief utopisch vertrouwen in de markt. De deeleconomie, de gemeenschapseconomie en de betekeniseconomie zijn concrete voorbeelden van deze vernieuwde economische logica. Naar aanleiding van de 500ste verjaardag van Thomas Morus? Utopia, voegen we aldus de daad bij een nieuw woord: uglobia. In uglobia slaat ?u? op de Griekse term voor geluk. Uglobia is het hier en nu omturnen van onze geglobaliseerde samenleving, waarbij het bruto nationaal product in functie staat van het bruto nationaal geluk.
