Synopsis

Profit vs. Prosperity examines some of the components of the US economic system, looking at how we like to think they work and how they actually work. Climate change is overtaking our ecosystem at an ever-increasing rate, the gap between the haves and the have-nots continues to widen, and Americans seem content with a rising GDP even if many other indicators of human well-being are moving in the opposite direction. Richard McGuire looks at where these foundational ideas in economic thought came from, why they needlessly put human well-being and economic growth at odds, and proposes a new way of thinking about our economy that puts people first.
