The volume is interdisciplinary, targeting economists, social scientists, civil servants, environmentalists, and anyone interested in sustainable development. It compiles research results across seven areas: the political impact on societal and economic development, the role of an organized service sector, sustainable innovation management, the significance of tertiary education, environmental sustainability, examples from sub-Saharan Africa, and contemporary theories of capitalism. The authors, primarily European and American professors of economics, examine sustainable development through various lenses, particularly from a Polish perspective, while also incorporating insights from the U.S. and Barbados. They address diverse challenges such as transitioning from socialism to capitalism, minimum wage issues, building innovation clusters, gender's role in innovativeness, autonomous vehicles, university collaboration with stakeholders, and financing education in small island nations. The discussions also cover sustaining efforts against food insecurity and promoting patient-centered care in Sub-Saharan Africa. The concluding articles critique neoliberal capitalism and consumption theories, encouraging readers to reflect on sustainable development in modern societies.

Two Polish papers and one from the USA explore social conditions in the context of globalization, while the role of education in fostering a country's innovation is examined through the lens of 27 EU nations. Additionally, a case study on maternal health in rural Tanzania highlights the importance of global funding and regional infrastructure. Lastly, the development of technological capabilities in Sub-Saharan Africa is discussed as a pathway for long-term economic growth, with all contributions framed around economic growth and socia
