Thus, the state of any economic system depends on the possible alternatives available, and the distinctiveness of its participants’ consciousness. The paper portrays that the present global economic system is diverging from its aspiration, and essentially it requires shifting from materially conscious system to ethically conscious system and finally to spiritually conscious system, which shall commit to meet the real needs of life and establish a Better World Order. The paper stresses upon the significance of practicing Ethics and Spirituality with Economic principles by and for the human society which is the major constituent of the economic system.
