Does cultural economics affect country’s competitiveness?

Abstract

We have only one planet, Earth; there is no plan B for survival. But the time has come to think about Planet B because of the overwhelming exploration and exploitation of Mother Earth, The Constitution of India has bestowed upon every individual the right to the environment, as well as the right to economic development. In the contemporary world, we often find a conflict between these two rights. At times, even the judiciary struggles to determine which of these two rights to uphold. Of course, among the above-mentioned two rights, each is important in its own domain. Whenever there is a conflict between these two rights, the court must strike a balance, taking into account the pressing present needs of society and the future of the environment. This paper makes a modest attempt to analyse the benefits of these rights from the perspective of the people and the harm they cause to Mother Earth from their inception to today.
