Growth: A History and a Reckoning | Daniel Susskind

1 post | 1 read

Daniel Susskind traces the rich, surprisingly brief history of economic growth and responds to its ills. We cannot focus only on growth�s upsides, but nor is degrowth a viable policy: the benefits of prosperity are too great to discard. Instead we must face tradeoffs, demoting growth from our top priority and reckoning with its moral challenges.

Growth: A History and a Reckoning | Daniel Susskind

pick

Based on Obama‘s 2024 recommendations, I picked up this economics book. Using graphs and historical data, Susskind explains economic growth over time, and, like most Obama picks, gives the reader some thought provoking insights and moral questions to ponder. I don‘t think this is the summer page turner for most of us, but the discussions about sustainability, AI, and investment in R&D are timely and relevant.
