In: Springer Nature eBookSummary: This book, "The Economy of Goodness" by Dr. Rey-Sheng Her, offers a comprehensive faith-based and philosophical perspective on economic activities throughout human history. It explores how cross-cultural ethics and philosophies, particularly Eastern and Western, shape our economy. The book delves into applying altruism to economic spheres, demonstrating how good motivations and means lead to good outcomes. Key themes include defining 'goodness' as altruism, harmony, and common goodness, and addressing fairness and justice in production, consumption, trade, and finance. Highlighting enterprises that embody these ideals, the book also presents ten principles for fostering altruistic business practices, aiming to guide society toward common wealth and goodness. This engaging and insightful work is essential for those interested in economics, ethics, and the philosophy of altruism. Dr. Rey-Sheng Her is the Deputy CEO of the Tzu Chi Foundation. He holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Peking University, is an associate scholar at Harvard FAS CAMLab, and a senior advisor at the Berkeley Haas School of Business. He has served as a Visiting Fellow at Harvard, Columbia, Oxford, and Cambridge, and has authored numerous works on Buddhism and altruism.
