About this product

Product Information

Peter Victor challenges the priority that rich countries continue to give to ecomic growth as an over-arching objective of ecomic policy. The challenge is based on a critical analysis of the literature on environmental and resource limits to growth, on the disconnect between higher incomes and happiness, and on the failure of ecomic growth to meet other key ecomic, social and environmental policy objectives. Shortly after World War II, ecomic growth became the paramount ecomic policy objective in most countries, a position that it maintains today. This book presents three arguments on why rich countries should turn away from ecomic growth as the primary policy objective and pursue more specific objectives that enhance wellbeing. The author contends that continued ecomic growth worldwide is unrealistic due to environmental and resource constraints. If rich countries continue to push growth, poorer countries, where the benefits are more evident, will lag. Rising incomes increase happiness and wellbeing only up to a level that has since been surpassed in rich countries. Moreover, ecomic growth has t brought full employment, eliminated poverty or reduced the burden of the ecomy on the environment. By combining a systems approach with more conventional ecomic analysis, Peter Victor provides new insights into a pressing issue at the frontier of ecological ecomics in a way that will appeal to a wide audience. Academics, students, activists and interested lay readers will find this well argued book illuminating and compelling.
