From the BBC programme’s website:
As the twin storms of economic turmoil and worsening climate change grip the UK and many other countries around the world, Analysis examines the future of economic growth. Does it offer a route out of economic malaise, or have its benefits reached a ceiling for developed countries? And can further growth be environmentally justified, or do we urgently need to halt – or even reverse – growth to limit the effects of climate change? Can so-called “degrowth” ever be possible?
Edward Stourton talks to economists and thinkers from around the world to appraise whether there’s still a central role for growth in the 21st century. Interviewees include: Tim Jackson, Jayati Ghosh, Danny Dorling, Diane Coyle, Motohiro Sato and Benjamin Friedman.
