Om bogen

Økonomisk trivsel er en nødvendig og delvis forudsætning for det gode liv. Globaliseringens lover økonomisk velstand, men er fortsat temmelig tavs om ikke-økonomiske aspekter af det gode liv.

De globale processer tager ikke hensyn til økonomiske, sociale, kulturelle og moralske aspekter af livet og som kan påvirke et lokalsamfund i stor udstrækning.

Essaysene i denne bog omfatter en bred vifte af tværfaglige bidrag, der kan hjælpe os med at forstå denne konflikt på en måde, der bekræfter mulighederne for en forsigtig assimilering af globale processer i lokale kulturer. En sådan forståelse kan bekræfte løftet om, hvad Adam Smith tilbød - at den økonomiske velstand kan finde sig indlejret i flere dybe moralske horisonter og muligheder for at leve godt.
