The promise of economic growth which has dominated society for so
long has reached an impasse. In his classic analysis, Fred Hirsch
argued that the causes of this were essentially social rather than
physical. Affluence brings its own problems. As societies become
richer, an increasing proportion of the extra goods and services
created are not available to everybody. Material affluence does not
make for a better society.
Fred Hirsch's classic exposition of the social limits to growth
manages to connect many of the apparently disparate factors that
blight modern life: alienation at work and deteriorating cities as
well as inflation and unemployment.
