SEMINAR ANNOUNCEMENT: GROWTH ILLUSION
with Richard Douthwaite
According to Hazel Henderson, _The_Growth_Illusion_ is
"A breakthrough! An honest economist willing to go public on why
pursuing economic growth formulas leads societies not toward
development, but to disaster. Douthwaite joins the growing ranks of
researchers in other disciplines -- from chaos theory and systems
dynamics to biology, ecology, anthropology and thermodynamics who for
decades have reached similar conclusions."
The seminar consists of the searchable web site
http://csf.colorado.edu/sustainable-economics/
plus a moderated listserv or forum in which the public is invited
to participate in conversation with the author (instructions below).
The seminar with Richard Douthwaite is for one week: February 18-25, 1998
The subtitle of the book is
How Economic Growth has Enriched the Few,
Impoverished the Many and Endangered the Planet
When it first appeared in 1992, _The_Growth_Illusion_ was short-listed
for what was, at the time, the world's richest literary prize, the
International GPA Book Award. The author and journalist, Richard
Douthwaite, from Westport, Ireland, is now working on a second edition
to be published in 1999.
According to James Downey:
A terrific book, splendidly written and meticulously researched.
I have no hesitation in calling Richard Douthwaite one of the best
environmental journalists in the world.
