Description
Plenty of assumptions in mainstream economics are based on eurocentric norms. Dr Kyaw invites us to challenge our biases by considering an alternative; namely the relationship between Buddhism and economics/business. This relationship will be examined in the context of ‘right livelihood’, which is one of the eight qualities of the Buddhist path to Nirvana. Drawing on her own fieldwork on business communities in Myanmar as well as through Buddhist texts, Dr Kyaw will also investigate if and how one could reconcile any possible ethical tension between being ‘a good business person’ and ‘a good Buddhist’.| Period | 10 Nov 2015 |
