Our world is in big trouble, with huge inequalities in wealth and access to food, clean water, and many other basics. We are overly dependent on diminishing and polluting nonrenewable fuels,
and yet most countries are slow to switch to renewables. In this book, experts explain how the Thai approach of sufficiency thinking achieves the seemingly impossible, namely enriching
everyone’s lives in a truly sustainable way. Innovative management practices developed by the Thai King have been applied across Thailand in business, government, and community organizations
over the past two decades. Chapters written by eminent Thai scholars explain sufficiency thinking and review how it has been implemented in different sectors including communities, business,
agriculture, health, and even in prisons. Is Thailand unique in having discovered the holy grail of a more responsible form of capitalism? No, it is not, but it is the first country whose
government has adopted this kind of thinking as national policy.
