Description
Economic growth is desirable for any nation because economic growth brings prosperity and higher living standards. But critiques of growth say growth results in pollution, climate change, species extinction, and other environmental problems. These adverse negative externalities occur because inputs in the production process reenter the environment as some form of waste. Critiques also argue that there is little compelling evidence that economic growth has solved social problems such as, poverty, homelessness, and discrimination – Provide your arguments to defend, refute, or mixed opinion on the views of the critiques stated above.
