About this episode
You don’t need to be paying too much attention to be aware that economic growth matters.
Growth is central to economics. And growth of the last 60 years has delivered. We’ve seen a rise in prosperity, and developments in health and education.
But the pursuit of growth has also had consequences.
In his new book Growth: A Reckoning, Daniel Susskind explores the tension between the positives and negatives created by the pursuit of growth.
Guest:
Daniel Susskind, Research Professor in Economics at King’s College London
