Sustainable World: The Utilitarian Economy (Where Everyone has a Chance) (en Inglés)
Reseña del libro "Sustainable World: The Utilitarian Economy (Where Everyone has a Chance) (en Inglés)"
The book first looks at the results of the UN 2015 Millennium Development Goals programme, it’s perceived successes and admitted failures. The book puts forward a specific prescription that has been espoused by the great economic philosophers such as Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Henry George and Leon MacLaren, of which modern day economic thought and policy have largely ignored. This prescription, if recommended by the UN and adopted by countries, will yield far greater success in the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals programme. In this regard, there will be a complete turnaround from what are the common-place failures currently attendant upon developing economies.This approach will bring these economies into balance such that: --The burgeoning unemployment and underemployment levels found in most developing countries can be transformed into gainful employment numbers with real purchasing power,-The increasing numbers of the poor and working poor and the widening disparity between these groups and the rich could be abrogated in favour of a level playing field favourable to all,-The perennial and expanding responsibilities placed on the State in developing economies in the areas of health, education, social welfare and employment could be attenuated in favour of greater self-sufficiency and self-reliance of its citizens,-The prospects for permanently changing the economic fortunes of developing countries from community exporting economies to ones that export finished goods that are in demand,-And Much, Much More!The book also presents the rationale for why the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals programme is doomed to failure if the organization’s current approach is not discontinued.The reader will be turned into a simple approach, which all the past great economic thinkers have prescribed, which is totally ignored today, which can give fresh insights and real possibilities for economic turnaround in the world!For those of us wanting a new and unbiased look at the subject of socio-economic development, this is a must read!
