Herman Daly on Policy Implications of Uneconomic Growth
Economic growth is our number-one policy goal. But if growth in the US now increases social and environmental costs faster than production benefits it becomes uneconomic growth and makes us poorer at the margin, not richer. Policies for avoiding uneconomic growth will be suggested for discussion.
Herman Daly is Professor Emeritus at the Maryland School of Public Policy and spent six years as a senior economist at the World Bank. He was a co-founder and associate editor of the journal, Ecological Economics. He is also a recipient of an Honorary Right Livelihood Award, the Heineken Prize for Environmental Science from the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Sophie Prize (Norway), and the Leontief Prize from the Global Development and Environment Institute.
We look forward to seeing you at our discussion.
Best,
Your EESG Team
