The future of economic growth is one of the decisive questions of
the twenty-first century. Alarmed by declining growth rates in
industrialized countries, climate change, and rising socio-economic
inequalities, among other challenges, more and more people demand
to look for alternatives beyond growth. However, so far these
current debates about sustainability, post-growth or degrowth lack
a thorough historical perspective. This edited volume brings
together original contributions on different aspects of the history
of economic growth as a central and near-ubiquitous tenet of
developmental strategies. The book addresses the origins and
evolution of the growth paradigm from the seventeenth century up to
the present day and also looks at sustainable development,
sustainable growth, and degrowth as examples of alternative
developmental models. By focusing on the mixed legacy of growth,
both as a major source of expanded life expectancies and increased
comfort, and as a destructive force harming personal livelihoods
and threatening entire societies in the future, the editors seek to
provide historical depth to the ongoing discussion on suitable
principles of present and future global development. History of the
Future of Economic Growth is aimed at students and academics in
environmental, social, economic and international history,
political science, environmental studies, and economics, as well as
those interested in ongoing discussions about growth, sustainable
development, degrowth, and, more generally, the future.
