Over the past two centuries, economic growth has freed billions from poverty and improved health and longevity. This pursuit of growth has led to deepening inequalities, environmental destruction, destabilizing technologies, and climate change. In an era where economic progress is slowing across regions like the UK, Europe, and China, some advocate for 'degrowth' by shrinking our economies. Award-winning economist Daniel Susskind provides a comprehensive analysis of these issues, arguing that while growth cannot be abandoned, it must be redirected to better reflect societal values. He explores the drivers of growth and offers ideas for addressing economic slowdown. The book is a thought-provoking and well-researched examination of one of society's most pressing concerns.
A note on book covers: while we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
