Employing a diverse range of methodologies, from philosophical inquiry to empirical analysis, this study aims to present a multidimensional perspective capable of fostering enduring and equitable prosperity. It introduces the concept of “universal prosperity” as a novel approach to contemporary challenges.
This dissertation advocates a reconsideration of socio-economic ethos to focus on the root causes of Grand Challenges. Drawing inspiration from divine sources, it proposes a model addressing tectonic change in systemic structures, bridging medieval concepts with contemporary realities. Consequently, this work offers analytical filters for assessing future approaches and invites further scrutiny.
By examining unconventional epistemic models, including eschatological beliefs, pathways to prosperity and radical systems rethinking, this study concludes that academic concepts derived from the monotheistic tradition, coupled with a revivalist monotheistic perspective, can lay the groundwork for transformative global outcomes.
