    About this ebook

    What is Uneconomic Growth


    When economic growth either reflects or causes a reduction in the quality of living, this type of growth is referred to as uneconomic growth. Human development theory, welfare theory, and ecological economics are all examples of fields that make use of this notion. Although it is commonly believed that ecological economist Herman Daly is the originator of the concept, it is possible that other thinkers may also be credited with its conception. As Daly points out, "uneconomic growth occurs when increases in production come at an expense in resources and well-being that is worth more than the items made." One school of thought contends that the cost, or reduction in well-being, that is linked with prolonged economic expansion is the result of "the social and environmental sacrifices made necessary by that growing encroachment on the eco-system."
