SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Professor Ertuna maintains that the capitalist economic system is far from meeting our aspirations. He says we can, and must, contribute to the development of a better world which will serve us all. With a mixture of theory and practical examples, the former member of a World Bank mission and adviser to the Turkish Prime Minister, examines markets and international trade in the era of globalization from scientific, economic, cultural, philosophical and faith-based viewpoints. He explains how the 'Science of the 21st Century' may be part of a new emergent order.
