Since the collapse of the socialist system in Eastern Europe, the market-economy system has become a prevalent mode of production worldwide. The market system, which incentivizes all economic agents to work hard, is much better than the planned-economy system. Nonetheless, this system is far from perfect. Researchers and policymakers have provided various causes of unsustainable development in this system and how to improve it. However, their discussions mainly surround environmental degradation and social inequality. No one has scrutinized the market system with its random-walk economies as the root of unsustainable development. This book provides an in-depth look into this ideological problem. The book serves a broad base of readers concerned about any adverse impact caused by unsustainable activities or development processes, such as disasters, terrorism, financial crises, and climate change.

Historians, sociologists and economists often complained that there are not enough written documents about the economy and society of early Vietnam. On the contrary, Vietnamese oral sources are full of details on how people socialized and made a living out of the recourses available to them during certain periods in Vietnamese history. This book fills the gap in the history books by analyzing oral sources from the earliest time, when fishing was the major means of living, to early twentieth century, when trading was flourished. Different from other authors, who only provided excerpts of a text when they discuss Vietnamese society, this book provides most of the texts in entirety, enabling the readers to enjoy the aesthetic aspect of an oral source while gaining their understanding of the Vietnamese economy and society.
