In a world increasingly driven by GDP growth and financial metrics, we often overlook the deeper consequences of our money-centric approach. What if there was a way to balance our material progress with true well-being, fairness, and sustainability?Equanimity and Economics explores a revolutionary concept rooted in spiritual and philosophical traditions, where equity extends beyond human relationships to encompass all living beings and the environment. This book delves into the idea of equanimity—an advanced form of equity that remains unaffected by the ups and downs of life. It advocates for the equal distribution and rational utilisation of both man-made and natural resources, achieved through voluntary and non-violent means rather than forceful revolutions.The negative side effects stemming from the unending pursuit of wealth can already be seen on a micro level with psychological problems and erosion of societal morals, and problems such as overutilization of resources and unequal wealth distribution on a macro level. If these issues are not addressed urgently we may see this become the cause of civil unrest and wars in the near future. This book uses the principle of equanimity in economics to introduce practical solutions such as an innovative social currency recognizing happiness and non-monetary contributions to society.
