Overview

The world s addiction to economic growth continues with barely any recognition that this is a problem. Indeed, in a Western world currently dominated by austerity measures and ducking in and out of recession, growth is seen even by progressives as the only possible solution for our economic and social woes. This No-Nonsense Guide looks deeper into the idea of economic growth - to trace its history and understand why it has become so unchallengeable and powerful.

This book contains a lot of clearly stated, no-nonsense arguments against our growth obsession, and for a steady state economy. Highly recommended!

Books like this get us started in out thinking and in out actions. David Suzuki, Science Broadcaster
