Buen Vivir for All instead of Dolce Vita for Few

This is a section title from "Thinking Ahead: Development Models and Indicators of Well-being Beyond the MDGs" by Jens Martens:
The Buen Vivir principle pursues the goal of material, social and spiritual satisfaction among all members of a society, but not at the cost of the other members and the natural resources. It thus dissociates itself from a purely materialistic Western-style concept of wealth.
