"Pursuit of economic growth is a failure
Professor Tim Jackson writes:

For the past five decades, the pursuit of economic growth has been the single most important policy goal across the world. Questioning that goal-- particularly in this time of global financial crisis-- is deemed to be the act of lunatics, idealists and revolutionaries.

But in fact the pursuit of economic growth has failed. It has failed on its own terms, it has failed to deliver a good life for all, and it’s now in the process of destroying the planet."
