Story4.5 out of 5 stars 52
In this powerful, incisive book, David Pilling reveals the hidden biases of economic orthodoxy and explores the alternatives to GDP, from measures of wealth, equality, and sustainability to measures of subjective well-being. Authoritative, provocative, and eye-opening, The Growth Delusion offers witty and unexpected insights into how our society can respond to the needs of real people instead of pursuing growth at any cost.

Thoroughly enjoyed this listen and plan to buy the hard copy for my home library, too many great references, people, and analogies to remember.

First comes a High, a period of confident expansion. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion. Then comes an Unraveling, in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis—the Fourth Turning—when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world—and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future.

Never know many of the historic and repeated correlations so crisply described in this book across life times. Great read/listen and would highly recommend to anyone interested in learning from history and providing a better and thoughtful way to navigate their future and those in their families!
