About
"Spiritual Economics" is a cross-disciplinary study combining psychology, economics, and the spiritual science of the Vedas to explain why there is vulture capitalism, cut-throat competition, unending economic hardship, exploitation, inequity, and struggle in this world. This book explains why present economic methods can do nothing to solve these problems, reveals the source of our economic problems, and explains the only solution that can create an economy that serves everyone.
This book also explores the origin and solution of our ecological problems. There is a link between economic activity and human consciousness. Economics is not a physical science like electromagnetism that works according to natural laws. It is a set of ideas entirely created by human beings. The most important side of the economic equation, therefore, is the human side, but this side is totally neglected in all discussions of economics.
Since economics is a man-made creation, if we want to understand the economic problem and its solution, we must understand how and why human beings act in this world. That will give us the insight needed to properly adjust all of the parameters of the economic calculus to get the desired result. This book explains the whys and wherefores of human behavior in relationship to their economic activity.
