New book calls for 'inclusive growth' to address crises but lacks bold proposals
-
The book examines the "permacrisis" of ongoing challenges like COVID, US-China rivalry, Ukraine war, and high energy prices.
-
It proposes "inclusive growth" as the solution but lacks details on how to achieve it beyond technical fixes and moral persuasion.
-
The authors critique "neoliberalism" yet praise institutions like the IMF and focus on defending global finance.
-
The book fails to properly consider degrowth proposals for reducing inequality and emissions.
-
Its faith in elites solving crises through "global solutions" seems outdated given current geopolitical tensions.
