Caring Economics by Tania Singer
Conversations on Altruism and Compassion, Between Scientists, Economists, and the Dalai Lama
A cross-disciplinary exploration argues that economies can be redesigned around care, empathy, and compassion rather than narrow self-interest. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics, it highlights evidence for trainable prosocial motivation and examines how institutions, education, and policy can cultivate cooperation, reduce inequality, and promote sustainability. Through dialogues among scientists, economists, and contemplative thinkers, it proposes metrics beyond GDP and practical reforms to align markets with human flourishing and social well-being.
