Audrey E. Kitagawa interviews Prof. Kamran Mofid, Founder of the Globalisation for the Common Good Initiative.
'The interview was wide ranging including discussion about globalisation and the common good, financial crisis, education, MBA, Business Schools, teaching of economics, the value of values and more.'
Mofid explains, "It was one of the most rewarding encounter, discussion and debate I have ever had."
“Starting a movement for reformation of how Economics is taught at universities, and seeking to instill positive values as a foundation for education and daily life, Kamran Mofid created the Globalization For The Common Good Initiative (GCGI). Joining with a broad spectrum of disciplines from religious communities to think tanks, he spawned the Journal of Globalization for the Common Good, hosted at Purdue University. For 12 years, GCGI’s international annual conferences held in different countries, from Russia to Kenya, the United Kingdom, and France, continues to gain momentum, with ever broadening communities that seek to promote values of respect, gratitude, love, and caring. The GCGI produces cutting edge research and innovative policy ideas for a just, democratic and sustainable world. It strives to bring the human face and heart to impersonal market forces and seeks to bring cultures, faiths and academic disciplines together to foster appreciation and cooperation for eachother.”
