SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING 2019

''A near miracle'' Ha-Joon Chang, author of 23 Things They Don''t Tell You About Capitalism

According to the economy, we have never been wealthier or happier. So why doesn’t it feel that way? The Growth Delusion explores how we prioritise growth maximisation without stopping to think about the costs. So much of what is important to our well-being, from safe streets to sound minds, lies outside the purview of statistics. In a book that is both thought-provoking and entertaining, David Pilling argues that our steadfast loyalty to growth is informing misguided policies, and proposes different criteria for measuring our success.

.A most thoughtful and profound philosophical reflection on how we live our lives, organise our societies and shape the future of humanity. It should be compulsory reading for everyone who is interested in making the world a better place. . Ha-Joon Chang, author of '23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism',
.A welcome antidote to the gospel according to GDP. . David Smith, Sunday Times
.A witty, well-informed and well-travelled guide to our obsession with growth ... If he sometimes makes fun of measurement, he also makes measurement fun. A real achievement. . Angus Deaton, Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics,
.Engaging and enlightening, The Growth Delusion explains not only why the emperor has no clothes, but why he wasn't really the emperor in the first place. . David Mitchell, author of 'Cloud Atlas',
