The Growth Delusion
Wealth, Poverty, and the Well-Being of Nations
David Pilling
This book delves into our society's obsession with economic growth, revealing the failings of economists' frameworks and how they dictate public spending. Despite decades of growth, citizens feel increasingly pessimistic, and are turning against the technocratic elite. This incisive book explores alternatives to GDP, from equality and sustainability measures to subjective wellbeing. The Growth Delusion challenges readers to consider the needs of real people and reject pursuing growth at any cost.
