abstract	Attempts to instigate the process of economic development frustrate economists. Strategies effective in some geographic regions fail dismally in others. Economic growth, moreover, does not necessarily enhance human welfare. The realization that world economic wealth is an essential component to the development of humankind and a peaceful global society begets even keener frustrations. Economists assume that economic decisions are based on rational self-interest. In The Prosperity of Humankind a new concept of the reality of human nature presented by the Bahá'í writings open a dialogue between religious thinkers and economists. The unity of humanity and the global activities triggered by this premise provide workable new hypotheses for designing economic strategies for prosperity.
