Wealth

The need for human development is to enhance the lives we live. Exploring new frontiers in medicine, technology, arts & media, all enhances the lives we live.

In current times, specific areas that pose great challenge to human development are

- Advances in genomics and bio technology
- Advances in renewable energy development
- Advances in environment & earth sciences
- Advances in business frameworks for open trade
- Advances in Information and communication tools to facilitate all the above.

Companies, consultants & employees working in these areas are the beacon for human development. No wonder then, they are also the ' wealth generators' in the economy. But, be aware that when you work in the above mentioned areas, it is simply not adequate to take your basic objective as just the maximization of personal income or wealth.

We generally have excellent reasons for wanting more income or wealth. This is not because income and wealth are desirable for their own sake, but let them be the general-purpose means for more freedom to lead the kind of lives we have reason to value.
