RAGHU-NOMICS 5 Vice & Virtue: A Bridge between 2 Worlds

Steven Rosen takes us on tour of vices place throughout traditions and religions of history. This work is a small synopsis of this, but it gives us a stronger sense of context and application that is missing in the debates over standards and reforms for vices practice and hazards. The full value of this process becomes more apparent in ROOPA 2 as it tackles the social economic issues of vice as a matter of policy. You will find ROOPA 2 to be a more effective tool of economic reform than other efforts. We credit much of this to the Vice & Virtue paradigm approach. That approach is nicely delineated here by Steven Rosen. He builds the case with his insightful comparatives between different religions dealings of vice. In it, you will see the seeds of ROOPA 2 and the policy programs developed from it. That is the point we wish to make with this edition of ROOPA.
