It seems clear that we need to overcome a crisis that has strong social, behavioural, economic and environmental contours. To overcome it, we would need a new way of thinking and acting, in accordance with the principles of abundance that the natural environment informs us about. In contrast, the principles of prevailing economic theory have proved to be unnatural, stimulating social and environmental problems, causing scarcity, rivalry, exclusion and competition for free goods.
With this inspiring book, Paulo Roberto da Silva aims to provide us with an economic alternative geared towards the production of goods and services, which would satisfy or eliminate everyone’s needs, as well as bringing abundance, a state of material satisfaction and a fulfilling life, geared towards individual and collective well-being, in harmony with the Emerging Consciousness.
The author:
PAULO ROBERTO DA SILVA, built his professional life initially in the financial market and, in 1987, began to devote himself to academic life. As he deepened his studies in Economics during his PhD at the University of São Paulo (USP), he sharply realised the abyss on which the prevailing economic theory is based and, perplexed by the consequences of this, wrote this book.
He has a post-doctorate in Economic and Organisational Sociology from the Technical University of Lisbon. He has taught at recognised institutions in Brazil, such as the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV), the Brazilian Institute of Capital Markets (IBMEC) and the State University of Rio de Janeiro. He is currently a professor at the Fluminense Federal University (UFF) and disseminates his thoughts through lectures and courses.
