商品描述

In this edited book, we provide foundational tenets of Gandhian perspective, and present examples of social organizations that are aiming to insulate themselves by adopting community and village-centered approaches to restructuring socially-embedded economic activities that align with Gandhian principles. These cases highlight the relevance of Gandhi's thoughts in the field of social entrepreneurship. We examine key principles such as Sarvodaya (the welfare of all), Antodaya (the upliftment of the weakest), self-sufficiency, self-reliance, Nai Talim (holistic education), and Trusteeship. We explore how social organizations implement these principles to promote resilience and well-being at the community level.

The COVID-19 pandemic revealed unsustainable practices in the world, including disrupted supply chains, contagious effects of integrated global economy that ignore the local self-reliance, and unsustainable internal displacement that make cities dependent on rural labor and rural population dependent on urban areas for jobs. These issues show that there are systemic problems with how our society and market are structured. The traditional way of development that focuses on profit maximization and unlimited wants has caused problems like inequality, resource depletion, and disproportionate wealth accumulation. Unlimited growth in a limited world has led us to social, economic, and ecological crises. However, degrowth, as an approach has been criticized for wanting to go back to pre-industrial times. In this context, Gandhi's ideas offer alternatives. Gandhi promotes moderation in how market activities are structured and how individual consumption practices are followed. This can help reduce the negative impact of economic activities on people and the planet, and move towards a more structured and inclusive economy.

在這本編輯書籍中，我們提供了甘地視角的基礎信條，並展示了旨在通過採用以社區和村莊為中心的方法來重構與甘地原則相符的社會嵌入經濟活動的社會組織的例子。這些案例突顯了甘地思想在社會企業領域的相關性。我們檢視了如 Sarvodaya（全體福祉）、Antodaya（最弱者的提升）、自給自足、自我依賴、Nai Talim（整體教育）和受託責任等關鍵原則。我們探討社會組織如何實施這些原則，以促進社區層面的韌性和福祉。

COVID-19 大流行揭示了世界上不可持續的做法，包括供應鏈中斷、忽視地方自給自足的全球經濟的傳染效應，以及使城市依賴農村勞動力和農村人口依賴城市就業的不可持續內部流離失所。這些問題顯示出我們的社會和市場結構存在系統性問題。傳統的發展方式專注於利潤最大化和無限需求，導致了不平等、資源枯竭和不成比例的財富積累。在有限的世界中無限增長使我們面臨社會、經濟和生態危機。然而，去增長作為一種方法卻因為想要回到前工業時代而受到批評。在這種背景下，甘地的思想提供了替代方案。甘地提倡在市場活動的結構和個人消費實踐中保持適度。這有助於減少經濟活動對人類和地球的負面影響，並朝向更有結構和包容性的經濟邁進。
