Acharya Prashant explains that the current economic system is a reflection of man's inner state and is largely dysfunctional because it is money-centric rather than value-centric. He argues that if individuals become spiritual, economics will not disappear but will transform. In a spiritual economy, the definition of richness changes from having the most money to having the greatest work to do. Currently, people work for results in the form of money, leading to insecurity and a lack of real value creation. He points out that money does not always follow value; one can become wealthy by providing things of zero intrinsic value that society happens to value due to a distorted consciousness.
