The Growth Illusion
| How Economic Growth has Enriched the Few, Impoverished the Many, and Endangered the Planet
|
| By Richard Douthwaite
|
| The idea that economic growth is necessary is deeply rooted in western culture and forms the basis of the economic strategies for developed and developing nations around the globe. A finalist in the GPA Book Award when first released in 1993, this fully updated and revised edition demonstrates why economic growth is a prescription for disaster and suggests how to redirect our capitalist system toward more positive ends. - Engaging, well-researched, and widely recommended.
