Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Uneconomic growth, in human development theory, welfare economics (the economics of social welfare), and some forms of ecological economics, is economic growth that reflects or creates a decline in the quality of life. The concept is attributed to the economist Herman Daly, though other theorists can also be credited for the incipient idea.. Note that economic degrowth is different from uneconomic growth (or uneconomic degrowth), it is meant as a reduction of the size of the economy that would bring well-being and sustainability, see http://events.it-sudparis.eu/degrowthconference/en/.The cost, or decline in well-being, associated with extended economic growth is argued to arise as a result of the social and environmental sacrifices made necessary by that growing encroachment on the eco-system." In other words, "economic growth occurs when increases in production come at an expense in resources and well-being that is worth more than the items made.""
