Caring Economics

I felt inspired around this topic.

The first video is Matthieu Ricard and the second is Denis Snower at the World Economic Forum speaking about Caring economics.

Matthieu Ricard has written books on happiness.  He is a Buddhist.

Capitalism is not configured to deal with poverty, inequality, externalities, the commons and global problems as it is driven by self interest.

Think or feel very carefully… do you care?

World Economic Forum – cooperation is not about caring per se. Adam Smith was about self interest motivating preferences but he had concerns about mercantilist concentration (greed) impacting social equity.
