A journey to the heart, the transformative path I travelled toward spiritual growth, renewal and healing, enabling and empowering me to discover my true purpose in my chosen vocation. This is the gist of my story.

Economics to Take us to the Hub of Humanity by Prioritising Human Needs and Safeguarding the Entire Web of Life
The story is all about a life journey, about learning and teaching economics and more.
It is a story of a continuous academic journey of nearly 50 years trying to make sense of economics, what it was, what it has become, and what it should be, not only in the text books, but also relevant to the real world. In all, in the wise words of E. F. Schumacher ‘Economics as if people mattered.’

St Michael and the Devil – Statue by Sir Jacob Epstein, designed by Sir Basil Spence, depicts the triumph of Archangel Michael over the Devil and hope over hatred.
The Coventry Blitz on November 14, 1940, was a massive German air raid that flattened the city but ultimately led to a powerful, worldwide movement for forgiveness and reconciliation. While the physical destruction was immense, the lessons learned from that night have transformed Coventry into a global symbol of hope, peace and harmonious relationship and co-existence.

Dear friends,
Let me begin the day by reading you a short statement, the introduction to my address, if you will.
Serving the Earth, Serving One Another
In a world of spiraling ecological and social crises, where does one find hope and wisdom?
Where can we search for, and discover our spiritual calling?
I don’t know about you, but for me, my search has been a journey of self-discovery, allowing myself to be inspired by wisdom, the wisdom of others, past and present. This has led me to be an activist, a storyteller and a long-life student, always searching for answers, always asking questions, wondering, pondering, reflecting and contemplating on what this journey we call life is all about.
This is why I firmly believe that my job as an economist/activist is to find the truth. But we must also be storytellers, first and foremost.
