Description
Beyond Growth: The Economics of Sustainable Development challenges conventional economic thinking by placing the natural world at its centre. Herman E. Daly argues that the pursuit of growth is not always beneficial and that the current focus on 'sustainable development' is misguided.
Daly's book offers a powerful critique of economic orthodoxy, calling into question the notion that growth is always good. He presents a new economics that accounts for the value of nature, community, and morality, delivering a jolt to conventional thinking.
