| Summary, etc. | The volume is organised in two 'books. Book 1 starts with two chapters explaining just how limited is the contribution which economics can make. Following this, the author makes a choice among the alter native criteria for appraising the arguments, and goes on to show that almost all the favourite pro-growth arguments are 'non-agenda'. In the last chapters of this first book he exposes the inadequacy of the broad social objectives accepted today by progressive thinkers.<br/><br/>Book more ambitious, and is concerned with the character and capacity of men for enjoying life. Mishan compares and contrasts the chief physical, moral and institutional developments traceable to technical and economic growth with the basic aspirations of men and with the basic ingredients of the good life. He ends the book by showing just how deep-rooted and widespread must the resistance be to any serious political endeavour to move the economy away from the growth-path and towards a steady state. |
