Prelude to Global Age Discussions

In a philosophical vein, Dr. A. Krishnamurthy articulates via this collection of essays on important concepts and ideas like democracy, freedom, responsibility, culture, education and market economy. Globalization, as we witless today, is in the realm of materialistc inclinations where ethics and citizens' welfare are perceived to be inessential. To quote the author, "Fiscal economics is a facilitator of general functioning of economics. Unfortunately, the skewed understanding of money as a thing to amass has suffocated the economic channels. If we recall that real economics is a holistic part of a Habitat, it can be appreciated that lumping money dogs the Habitat. Accumulated fiscal power leads to unjustifiable acquisition drive which destroys our Habitat and biosphere. This also leads to design and perpetuation of an educational system which teaches the units of Habitat as fiscal economic resources - bereft of a holistic appreciation of the Habitat - thereby producing robotic scholars who strive to create more 'efficient and effective' ways of exploiting the Habitat."
