Description
Growth presents a conceptual and theoretical analysis of the phenomenon of growth in an attempt to begin to predict its future.
Tuene first discusses the 19th century idea that growth had specific limits and then declined, and then proceeds to analyze growth as a key social concept and its consequences in a variety of political, economic, and social areas. He finally considers: the question of whether growth is good or bad and for whom; the idea of innovation overcoming the limitations of growth; the continuing concern that population is outstripping earth's ability to feed. The volume concludes with an in-depth bibliographic description of the state of the literature.
