Abstract
This essay will examine just some signs of change in economic and social thought in the North-South relations. It does not attempt to offer a comprehensive overview of the creative possibilities for positive change that are now visible on the world stage. The basic premise of this exploration is that we live in a time when the simultaneous flowering of many positive trends is widening the space for the value of Gross National Happiness; both as a literal 'measure' of national well-being in Bhutan and as a metaphor for a worldview, for values that would take humanity closer to the ideal of Right Livelihood.
