We delve into the idea of "Buddhist economics" and its potential as an antidote to the negative aspects of capitalism. While Buddhist principles of selflessness, interdependence, and reverence for nature may appear to contradict the individualistic values of free markets, we examine how these two philosophies can coexist in a mutually beneficial way. We also address misconceptions about economic self-interest and how it can lead to positive outcomes for individuals and society as a whole.
