Celebrating Vietnam's Traditional Day of Science and Technology May 18:The mission of Nghe An social sciences and humanities in the new era
“If the economy is a machine, then social sciences and humanities are the drivers, knowing when to move forward, when to stop and where to go. In the era of sustainable development, we cannot just ask: How to grow? But we also need to ask: Growth for whom? Growth for what? And will it come at the cost of anything? Social sciences and humanities are the best ones to answer these questions: Social awareness, community structure, human cultural level” (Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Le Minh Hoan).
