It roots Bhutan's economic development in a historical context, and also juxtaposes it against the unique philosophy of Gross National Happiness. It poses some fascinating questions, for example whether the Gross National Happiness approach has helped address some of the complexities and challenges posed by modern economic growth. And are there other lessons from Bhutan's development for small, land-locked countries, that may also happen to be mountainous ? ER -
