{"product_id":"9781647123901","title":"Enlightened Self-Interest","description":"\u003cp\u003eInsights into a compassionate alternative to a ruthlessly self-interested capitalist culture    Societally sanctioned competition for money, power, and fame promotes selfishness, personal alienation, and widespread inequality, especially in market-oriented economies. Yet many of those engaging in this competitive individualism-the competition for rewards and limited resources-yearn to act directly to promote a more civil, equitable, and sustainable society.     Enlightened Self-Interest offers evidence-based insights into the societal and individual consequences of this cultural practice and an actionable alternative to it. This meticulously researched and empirically rooted reexamination of hypercompetition and zero-sum thinking presents inspiring examples of people who have reclaimed their own lives by contributing to a more civil, equitable, and sustainable society. They model the vision of enlightened self-interest, merging self-interest with other interests in pursuit of the common good, resulting in widely shared benefits.    Enlighted Self Interest provides a compelling case for incremental change and a series of actionable recommendations to jump-start a personal transition and to become part of a collective radical evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52062150164754,"sku":"9781647123901","price":52.76,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9781647123901.jpg?v=1774732589","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9781647123901","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
