Sufficiency 'misinterpreted'
Efforts are being made to distort His Majesty the King's sufficiency-economy philosophy so that the Thai public and the international community misinterpret it, Privy Councillor Kasem Wattanachai warned yesterday.
"Now Westerners have misconceptions because somebody wants them to get it wrong, through paid-to-write articles that attack the principle and compare it with Thaksinomics," he told a seminar.The royally initiated concept is not critical of wealth and prosperity, he clarified. "The rich can also employ it and help poorer people practise the principle. The sufficiency economy aims to strike a balance in everyday life, in business, in national trade," he said.
