No. 2 Humanism and economics
In the pursuit of a humanistic framework for co-existence (one that seeks to promote society’s well-being1), economics plays a central role. As a social science, economics is concerned with the study of the economic activities of humans, their institutions and behavioural patterns. It examines how societies manage scarce resources, studies the choices made by individuals, businesses and governments for addressing scarcity and analyses the relationships formed in the production of goods and services aimed at meeting human needs.
This publication addresses topics related to civilisation and corporate humanism.
