Description
The Buddha on Wall Street: What's Wrong with Capitalism and What We Can Do about It by Vaddhaka Linn is a thought-provoking examination of the intersection between Buddhism and modern economic systems, particularly capitalism. Drawing from Buddhist teachings and philosophy, Linn critically analyzes the ethical and psychological shortcomings of contemporary capitalist societies, which he argues are driven by greed, consumerism, and an insatiable desire for growth. The book highlights how the values promoted by global capitalism—such as competition, material success, and individualism—can lead to widespread dissatisfaction, inequality, and environmental degradation. Linn contrasts these values with Buddhist principles like contentment, mindfulness, compassion, and interdependence, offering an alternative vision for personal well-being and social harmony. The Buddha on Wall Street not only critiques the moral failings of capitalism but also proposes practical Buddhist-inspired solutions for creating a more balanced, ethical, and sustainable economy. Linn encourages readers to reflect on their own lives, consumer habits, and the broader social systems they participate in, making the book both a philosophical inquiry and a call to mindful action.
