“We economists have done the maths: ‘growth’ is a doomed strategy – there is a better way”
Yesterday, a collective op-ed was published in The Guardian and Le Monde by NEEP’s Chair, Olivier De Schutter, and signatories Joseph Stiglitz, Jayati Ghosh, Thomas Piketty, Kate Raworth and Jason Hickel, as well as 400 other experts from around the world. In the face of deepening inequalities and global ecological disaster, leading experts agree that growth has failed to eradicate poverty or to promote wellbeing. They confirm that poverty is not inevitable. Rather, it is manufactured. Yet another way is possible. The Roadmap for Eradicating Poverty, co-developed by more than 400 contributors across academia, the UN system, trade unions, grassroots movements, and civil society, offers 80 concrete policy measures to transform the economy to ensure human and ecological wellbeing by design.
