Perspectives
In our quest for 'development' and or economic growth neoliberal economic strategies seem to have dominated our thoughts and actions with costly consequences. We need to shift our focus from 'development'/growth to society, from means to end to target building of 'good' societies and not economy as end goal with economic growth to complement sustainable lifestyle, equity, social justice and moral values.
