Post-Growth Approaches and Well-Being: A Critique
摘要
In order to overcome the pitfalls and ailments of the current growth-centric paradigm (as discussed in Chapter 2 ), some interesting de-growth or post-growth approaches have been advanced. This chapter provides a detailed account of some of these approaches and critically examines the feasibility of adopting these approaches as development models.

The purpose and objective of these reforms was to enhance growth performance and catch up with the ‘so-called’ developed economies.
