An economist's vision of economic growth -- with less destruction

Daniel Susskind, an economist focused on sustainable growth, dives into the limitations of GDP as a measure of success. He argues that while economic growth has improved living standards, it has also harmed the environment and increased inequality. Susskind suggests that we should pursue less destructive forms of growth, balancing prosperity with ecological health. He critiques traditional metrics and emphasizes the importance of alternative measures that reflect social well-being and environmental sustainability. Can growth thrive without destruction? He explores this pressing question.
