 About the thesis
The thesis was written during 2002 to 2006 under the supervision of
Prof. Peter Ulrich (Economic Ethics) and Prof. Dieter Thomä (Philosophy),
both

Prof. Eduardo Giannetti of the Ibmec São Paulo. The research was done at the
University of St. Gallen,
Switzerland (two years), the
Ibmec São
Paulo, Brazil (15 months), and the
Centre for
Bhutan Studies, Bhutan (3 months). The last year was funded through
a scholarship of the Swiss
National Science Foundation (SNF).
