The slowdown in market demand for oil is putting increasing pressure on Kuwait's current economic and social model. This model is based on the distribution of petroleum export proceeds to Kuwaiti citizens, with relatively limited long-term investment in knowledge production and the upgrading of the national innovation capacity.

"This book addresses current practices related to sustainable development, its challenges, and the future. People belonging to different genders regardless of their age, social class and education should be equal as citizens and individuals, and identical in their rights and responsibilities. The business sector, authorities, societies, and religious circles have the potential to play a fundamental role in curbing social ills and the degradation of the environment in this modern world. The authors of this book argue that without good governance, the status of a human being is unlikely to improve. They make the case that to achieve sustainability, government, society and the economy must ensure a platform for people to participate in decision-making and benefit from the rights they are accorded. By covering a range of perspectives across economic, social and moral life, the book will shed light on the problems and possible solutions to sustainable development and the triple bottom line (TBL), of people, planet and profit, under the umbrella of morals and divine law. This will be a useful guide for undergraduate and postgraduate students across multiple disciplines, such as economics, religious studies, business studies, political science, anthropology and sociology"--

Long description: Das bedingungslose Grundeinkommen wird vielerorts diskutiert. Was würden wir tun, wenn unsere Existenz bedingungslos gesichert wäre? Wären wir fleißiger oder fauler? Experimente versuchen inzwischen, darauf eine Antwort zu geben, und Plädoyers für oder gegen das Grundeinkommen finden breites Gehör. Doch wie hat sich diese Idee entwickelt? Wer hat sie mit welchen Argumenten vorangebracht? Anhand von Schlüsseltexten unterschiedlichster Vordenker des bedingungslosen Grundeinkommens, darunter Thomas Morus, Charles Fourier, Bertrand Russell, John Maynard Keynes und Phillipe Van Parijs, dokumentiert dieser Band umfassend die wechselvolle Geschichte einer Idee, die uns auch künftig beschäftigen wird. Biographical note:

Active citizenship is the glue that keeps society together. Democracy doesn't function properly without it, because eff ective democracy is more than just placing a mark on a voting slip. The European Economic and Social Committee's mission is rooted in the principle of participative democracy, operating in addition to representative democracy, on the basis of a continuous dialogue between civil society and decision-makers. By definition, participative democracy requires people to get involved, to play an active role ... in their workplace, perhaps, or by taking part in a political organisation or supporting a good cause. The area of activity does not matter. It is the commitment to the welfare of society that counts.
