ABSTRACT
This introduction chapter gives an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book looks into the undercurrent of human evolution as aiding and assisting economic progress, and then articulates the idea of EF. It discusses that contextual truth and non-violence has to be brought to center stage of mainstream knowledge and discourse. One can easily grasp a connection between human evolution in terms of growth of populations and economic and social progress. The wide range of innovations of the past is indeed breathtaking: languages for communication, the conceptualization and measurement of time, a wide range of ancient to modern medicines, human movements across places near and far aided by travel and communication facilities, and many more. Historically, human evolution had taken a course that helped an explosion of numbers: rapid growth of population.
