The growth delusion : wealth, poverty, and the well-being of nations

by David Pilling

This work critiques the prioritisation of economic growth and the influence of economic orthodoxy on public policy. It explores the limitations of gross domestic product and considers alternative indicators of progress, such as equality, sustainability, and wellbeing.
