Essay Competition
Since the last decade, we have been witnessing sudden and surprising changes in world-wide economic scenario – the death of Communism, the banking financial crisis in the western capitalist world and now the European crisis. The latter trouble seems to suggest that the Capitalist model of economy is also gasping its last death-pangs.
To add to the woes of the capitalist model, which requires the support of rabid consumerism for its prosperity, and which in turn depletes natural resources and dumps massive
unavoidable garbage and pollutants in its wake, we are witnessing
unprecedented climatic changes and environmental disasters in this world.
All this suggests that we have to urgently seek a new economic model, which will give happiness, peace and prosperity not only to people but also other creatures on this planet earth – in line with our ancient Indian belief of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ – the whole world is but one family.
In this direction, if any of you budding Keynes’s or Marx’s, have got a cure for today’s economic woes or an idea for a completely new economic model, we are waiting to hear you, so that we can showcase your ideas to the world – who knows just like we say “Keynes’s Economic theory”, the next theory may be named after you.
So please put your mind on paper and write to us on:
“Sustainable Economic Model For Global Prosperity“
