Culture, Spirituality, and Economic Development
註釋Mainstream development discourse has focused on economic, social, and political conditions that need to be changed, and tends to ignore inputs and activities that cannot be quantified. This publication considers the cultural, moral, and spiritual dimensions of human well-being, and their integration into a variety of development paradigms. It discusses the failures of western-style economic ideologies, cultural values at the service of economics and technology, the positive resources available in spiritual values and systems, alternative components of development such as nongovernmental organizations, and nonconventional research which takes into consideration a people's values and beliefs.
