THE END OF PROGRESS: HOW MODERN ECONOMICS HAS FAILED US

Book Cover Image

(226 pages, $29.95 hardcover, 2011, ISBN 978-0470-829981) by Graeme Maxton, published by John Wiley & Sons.

To fuel our economic growth, we scrape the planet of its resources, laying waste to more than we build. To finance this, many have borrowed more than they should. Millions of people and many governments now owe more than they can ever repay. Wrong-headed economics brought us this mountain of debt. We face more poverty, greater conflict, and rising ill-health. We need a different measure of progress. This work looks at what brought us to this position and how we can shine some light onto the path ahead.
