Hyperwealthism (Financial Obesity): A Deadly Disease That Endangers Mankind And Nature

Description

Hyperwealthism (financial obesity) is a term coined to describe people’s morbid tendency to acquire more and more wealth than what is necessary for living. The monograph as it elaborates on the grave social and ecological consequences of hyperwealthism, comes heavily on the unwarranted and fierce competition among members of modern society to own excess wealth; and calls for yagnas or sacrificing deeds for the welfare of mankind and Nature, as advocated by the great sages of ancient India. And drawing attention to Vedic teachings, the book urges the need for adopting minimalism that conserves Nature and allows blissful coexistence.
