It carefully explains how economists responded to increased critiques of economic growth – the Limits to Growth – in the 1970s and how this laid the foundation for how economists think about sustainable development today. It analyses why economists argue that inclusive wealth should be the measurement used, and also critically evaluates practical applications of this approach.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten in a lively and accessible way, it helps the reader understand how inclusive wealth provides a way of balancing short-term economic gains with long-term sustainability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eEoin McLaughlin \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Economics in Edinburgh Business School at Heriot-Watt University, UK.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e06 August 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781350544147\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e416\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22.08\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51333853937804,"sku":"9781350544147","price":29.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_a7ae9fca-c73a-4f82-8f30-53323679843f.jpg?v=1783616969","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781350544147","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
