1. What is Buddhist Economics? -- 2. The Four Noble Truths: A Decision-Making and Problem-Solving Framework -- 3. What is the Problem with the Market Economy? -- 4. Drivers behind the Shortcomings of the Market Economy -- 5. Buddhist Economics Theory -- 6. Buddhist Ethics and Moral Life -- 7. Buddhist Wisdom and Defining Principles -- 8. Interconnectedness, Competition, and Collaboration -- 9. Envisioning a Different "Growth Model" -- 10. Alternatives to Profit-Driven Economic Growth Models -- 11. Making Sustainable Decisions in Daily Life -- 12. Implications for Business, and for Social and Environmental Change.

Living in a market-driven economy where short-term profit and economic growth appear to be the ultimate goal, this book explores how Buddhist teachings could bridge the divide between our spiritual and material needs and reconcile the tension between doing good for social interest and doing well for financial success. This book serves as a pioneering effort to systematically introduce Buddhist Economics as an interdisciplinary subject to audience with limited background in either Buddhism or economics. It elaborates some core concepts in Buddhist teachings, their relevance to economics, and means of achieving sustainability for individuals, society and the environment with the cultivation of ethical living and well-being. Through scholarly research from relevant fields including Buddhist studies, economics, behavioral finance, cognitive science, and psychology, this book illustrates the relevance of Buddhist values in the contemporary economy and society, as well as the efficacy of Buddhist perspectives on decision-making in daily life.
