What is lacking in narrow perspectives of traditional economic models devoid of long-term sustainability-
"Caring Economics!". For instance, children’s education is very competitive and achievement-oriented which reflects our “survival of the fittest” view. If we use the Caring Economics model in schools instead, we could teach valuing relationships, trust, fairness, and so on as much as being the best and achieving higher and higher goals. New economic models and associated views on human nature could not only have huge implications for governance systems but also for how we design institutions like banks, our health system and schools. Rather than solely maximizing individual gains and optimizing monetary outcomes, we would replace that with an approach that achieves optimal gains for the common good that also includes trust, kinship and care.

Yet, Chinese medicine treats the root problem to recover organ functions without patients step into tube inserted and organ failures medical tragedies. But, the majority of the western medicine and governments do not promote it as much as the western medicine. Even the researchers serve for the money, grants' interest to allow the health care cost going sky high instead of following their heart to find out solutions for the financial disadvantage people. The same as many health businesses use "health" to make money.
Another issue is the environmental pollutions generated from the health care that dump to the area only financial disadvantage people will live in.
Yet, Chinese medicine, many cosmic energy, exercises, meditation, acupressure, Chinese medicine does not adopt by business owners to bring into the business such as the first four above mentions to spend 5-20 min/day to get employees do health maintenance in a group. That can reduce a lot of medical cost and environmental pollution.
there is a *huge* body of literature on fairness (e.g. John Rawls), as well as population dynamics , and repeated interactions (such as repeated Prisoner's Dilemma with and without horizon, etc.)
