Essay on integral human development

[Luis Gutierrez]

In brief, this article includes:

     * Section 4, an overview of sustainable development indicators
     * Section 5, an essay on religious traditions and human development.
     * Section 6, a review of survey-based evidence.
     * Section 7, a review of recent scholarly research.
