Book excerpt: Our world is under pressure, with growing inequalities in wealth and access to food and clean water. We depend too heavily on polluting fuels and diminishing natural resources. Traditional cultural practices are being swamped by global popular culture. The Thai model of sufficiency thinking aims to transform the mindset of a whole population to achieve the seemingly impossible: enriching everyone's lives in a truly sustainable way. Innovative management practices developed by King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand have been applied across Thailand in agriculture, education, business, government and community organisations for over two decades. In this book, chapters written by eminent Thai scholars explain sufficiency thinking and review its implementation in different sectors including community development, business, agriculture, health care, schools, and even in prisons. Is Thailand unique in having discovered the holy grail of a more responsible form of capitalism? No, it is not, but it is the first country whose government has adopted this kind of thinking as national policy. '...we obviously need to revise dramatically our thinking about the outlines of a just economy and a decent society in which everyone can lead dignified lives. Sufficiency Thinking provides creative approaches to this quandary and this important volume is a brilliant addition to the growing literature critical of mainstream business-as-usual ideology.' - John Komlos, Professor Emeritus, University of Munich

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduced over the backdrop of collective humanity's semi-conscious march towards unsustainable future by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand, SUFFICIENCY ECONOMY PHILOSOPHY (SEP) posits an alternative path. In a SUFFICIENCY ECONOMY, economic drives & decisions, processes & institutions, systems & dynamics are grounded upon the triple intersecting imperatives of MODERATION, REASONABLENESS and IMMUNITY. Here, MODERATION may be thought of as a pragmatic embodiment of 'middle-path' thinking, REASONABLENESS embeds the very notion of causality or causal connection between actions and consequences, intended or otherwise, and IMMUNITY underlines the recognition that risks, financial or otherwise, often times cannot be managed exogenously, and that resilience is a goal as much as it is an outcome. Moreover, SEP insists on PRUDENCE vis-à-vis the application of knowledge to the planning and execution of enterprises, concomitant with INTEGRITY instilled and reinforced as moral foundation of the nation, as the paired requisite conditions by which such a SUFFICIENCY ECONOMY may achieve balanced prosperity, as well as be prepared for rapid material, social, environmental and cultural changes taking places globally.This chapter introduces the readers to the fundamental concepts and principles of SEP and so serves as definitive references for the chapters that follow in this volume.

Download or read book Value Creation for a Sustainable World written by Laszlo Zsolnai and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-29 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ecological, social and technological challenges of the Anthropocene require developing and implementing new economic, business, and financial models to create sustainable value for a wide range of stakeholders including nature, society, and future generations. This book defines ‘sustainable value creation’ as bringing forth products, services, organizational forms, processes, actions, and policies which satisfy real social needs and contribute to the ecological regeneration of nature. The book collects and analyzes innovative economic, business, and social models of sustainable value creation globally. It critically examines the existing mainstream models of business and financial value creation. In reviewing both traditional and sustainability-oriented models, it focuses on both the challenges and opportunities inherent in a possible shift from models based on single-stakeholder wealth creation to models that propagate multidimensional value creation. Part of the Palgrave Studies in Sustainable Business in Association with Future Earth series, this book aims to engage academics, and business and civil society practitioners to discuss innovative value creation models for a sustainable world. Interdisciplinary and intercultural exchange will be facilitated to inspire and cross-fertilize different knowledge and action fields as well as to promote intergenerational dialogue about the prospects of the human-earth system.

Download or read book The Logic of Sufficiency written by Thomas Princen and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2005-09-30 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if modern society put a priority on the material security of its citizens and the ecological integrity of its resource base? What if it took ecological constraint as a given, not a hindrance but a source of long-term economic security? How would it organize itself, structure its industry, shape its consumption? Across time and across cultures, people actually have adapted to ecological constraint. They have changed behavior; they have built institutions. And they have developed norms and principles for their time. Today's environmental challenges—at once global, technological, and commercial—require new behaviors, new institutions, and new principles. In this highly original work, Thomas Princen builds one such principle: sufficiency. Sufficiency is not about denial, not about sacrifice or doing without. Rather, when resource depletion and overconsumption are real, sufficiency is about doing well. It is about good work and good governance; it is about goods that are good only to a point. With examples ranging from timbering and fishing to automobility and meat production, Princen shows that sufficiency is perfectly sensible and yet absolutely contrary to modern society's dominant principle, efficiency. He argues that seeking enough when more is possible is both intuitive and rational—personally, organizationally and ecologically rational. And under global ecological constraint, it is ethical. Over the long term, an economy—indeed a society—cannot operate as if there's never enough and never too much.
Download or read book The Politics of Sufficiency written by Uwe Schneidewind and published by Uit Cambridge Limited. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Growth" is the only political, economic and social goal recognized today. But it brings us up against the ecological limits of the planet - and against the increasingly widespread recognition of the fact that material wealth alone cannot make us happy. For this reason, ever growing numbers of people are seeking and discovering alternative and sustainable ways of living. This is to be welcomed, but it is not enough. We need a politics of sufficiency that will make it easier to live with fewer resources but with stronger relationships. This book outlines the political framework and policy guidelines that will enable us to reduce the speed, complexity, clutter and commercialization currently blighting our lives. And it demonstrates what that would mean in practice for where we live, how we get around, and how we eat, work and learn.
