| 520 | 3 | _aThis article discusses two main themes of the Bahá'í vision of a future economy. The first theme is that the economy will be global and serve the material, intellectual, and spiritual needs of all humanity. The second is that the underlying force driving the economy will be spiritual or, in secular terms, ethical. The author proposes that these themes have been gathering force over the last two centuries. Technology is pushing economies to merge into one global system. At the same time, society is accepting that all will benefit from application of ethical values aimed at abolishing poverty and protecting the environment. Successful continuation of these themes, it is suggested, will largely depend on how we view humanity. Are wesimply super animals, or do we have a noble, spiritual side to our being? | |
