Light in an age of 'endarkenment'.A cold, hard look at how modern economics has failed us and why we need a new measure of progress Modern economics has fallen short. It has widened the gap between rich and poor. It has not allocated the world's resources fairly. It has brought the West to the brink of financial ruin. It has placed short-term gain before long-term progress. And it has made us focus on the individual, not the society. The end result is a worldwide financial crisis of epic proportions and a planet being scraped clean of the resources needed by future generations, and things are only getting worse.Economic policyEconomicsHistoryEconomic policy.EconomicsHistory.330330.1Maxton Graeme P497282MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823426603321The end of progress4110779UNINA
