The Growth Delusion by Christopher Pilling
Why Economists Are Getting It Wrong and What We Can Do About It
In this insightful exploration of modern economics, the book challenges the conventional obsession with GDP as the ultimate measure of a nation's success. It delves into the limitations and distortions of relying solely on economic growth metrics, highlighting how this narrow focus can overlook crucial aspects of societal well-being, such as environmental sustainability, income inequality, and quality of life. By weaving together compelling anecdotes, historical context, and expert analysis, the narrative urges readers to reconsider what truly constitutes progress and to embrace a more holistic approach to evaluating prosperity.
