Criticism of The Philosophy
There have been the efforts by military junta government to incorporate the King's 'Sufficiency Economy' (Localism) in the national economic policy. Thai critics are generally careful to direct their comments towards the military junta government, rather than the King, out of fear of prosecuation for lèse majesté. Consequently, such criticism is often phrased as inneffective application rather than disagreement in principle. Nonetheless, common points of disagreement include:
- The philosophy is not consistent with the reality of Thailand economic development, and
- Nobody understands it and there are several vague interpretations
