Description

The Poverty of Growth by Olivier De Schutter In our age of climate catastrophe, the conventional wisdom around economic growth is no longer tenable. Oliver De Schutter argues that we need to rethink the fight against poverty and inequality. The pursuit of economic growth often exacerbates social exclusion, human rights abuses, and widening wealth disparities. De Schutter calls for a new approach, one that prioritizes a 'post-growth' development model and a narrative of progress focused on human well-being rather than wealth and profit. This requires collaboration between social movements, trade unions, environmental NGOs, and policymakers to forge a more equitable path forward. The Poverty of Growth offers a compelling vision for a more sustainable and just future, one that balances economic development with social and environmental responsibility.
