Growth is a dominant economic driver accounting for the wealth of
nations and organizations alike. However, in the face of environmental
pressures, widespread social and economic imbalance, and the reigning
climate of uncertainty we are experiencing today, there is now a need
for a viable interpretation of what growth really means. In this book,
the author redefines the limits to economic growth and tackles the
issues involved in three parts, in order to study a variety of
international issues, including the world economic system, climate
change and environmental degradation.
