Title: Prosperity ethics: Habits and virtues of smart people in a changing world

Authors: Johann Walters & J.M. Vorster

Book Synopsis

The paradigm-shift from modernism to post-modernism and the Fourth Industrial Revolution pose enormous challenges to universal moral codes and human life today. The thesis of this manuscript is that human prosperity, in the broad sense of human flourishing in this new environment, could be enhanced by re-defining and applying universal moral codes and practising related habits to guide people to prosper and flourish as dignified human beings.
