Summary

It's a largely unquestioned assumption that any and all economic growth is good. Many of the world's developed countries, which already have a surplus of wealth and resources, continue to pursue economic growth as an end in itself. But could all this unchecked growth end up hurting the citizens of less-developed nations, making escape from poverty impossible? In The Economics of Arrival, Trebeck and Williams put forth a provocative idea: moving away from economic expansion toward economic inclusion. Using global examples, they argue for an economy that delivers quality rather than quantity-an economy for everyone
