  • Product Description

    A wide-ranging, but thoroughly accessible, critique of the dominant political ideology and cultural sensibilities of the capitalist West. Its analysis centres on an unpicking of two foundational principles of capitalism: the need for economic growth and, secondarily, the importance of progress. Successive chapters explore and criticise key aspects of western society: consumerism, attitudes to work, government (especially ?third way? social democracy) and our treatment of the environment. In the final chapter, the author gives a sketch of an alternative post-growth society.

    Growth Fetish is a powerful and highly readable synthesis of critiques of Western society under capitalism from a variety of angles - economic, cultural, environmental, philosophical - and its range is impressive.
