An interesting look at the ways in which growth is looked upon in the modern western society as being the end goal for everyone. He asks the question if this is good and whether or not we're doing the right thing here. There are tiems when it did feel like he was exhaggerating for the sake of it but a lot of the time I found myself nodding in agreement. However between the crazy growth and his ideas there may be a workable middle ground. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
For decades our political leaders and opinion makers have touted higher incomes as the way to a better future. Economic growth means better lives for us all.But after many years of sustained economic growth and increased personal incomes we must confront an awful fact: we aren't any happier. This is the great contradiction of modern politics. Clive Hamilton argues that, far from being the answer to our problems, growth fetishism and the marketing society lie at the heart of our social ills. They have corrupted our social priorities and political structures, and have created a profound sense of alienation among young and old.Growth Fetish is the first serious attempt at a politics of change for rich countries dominated by sicknesses of affluence, where the real yearning is not for more money but for authentic identity, and where the future lies in creating a society that promotes the things that really do improve our well-being.
