Description
The Moral Consequences of Economic Growth by Benjamin M. Friedman is a thought-provoking critique of economic policy and its impact on society.
Friedman argues that economic growth provides more than just material benefits, but rather leads to the development of open and democratic societies. He examines the history of large Western democracies, particularly the United States since the Civil War, to demonstrate how rising incomes contribute to social and political liberalization.
This book offers a wide-ranging perspective on the effects of economic growth and globalization, with concrete policy suggestions for pursuing growth at home and promoting worldwide economic expansion. A valuable contribution to ongoing debates in economics and politics, The Moral Consequences of Economic Growth is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the complex relationships between economic development and social change.
