More about the book
Challenging the conventional wisdom surrounding economic growth, this book critiques the dominance of economists who shape public policy with complex formulas. It highlights the disconnect between economic indicators and citizens' lived experiences, revealing a growing backlash against technocratic elites. Despite ongoing growth, many feel increasingly pessimistic, prompting a demand for alternative measures of prosperity, such as wealth, equality, and wellbeing. Offering insightful critiques and fresh perspectives, it advocates for a society that prioritizes real human needs over relentless growth.
