Growth Fetish

by Hamilton, Clive (2004)

Abstract

On both left and right, all major political parties in the Western world share the same belief: the first objective of government should be to raise the rate of economic growth. Hamilton shows how the feverish pursuit of economic growth has been used to justify the radical transformation of government, work and leisure.
