The ubiquity of the commitment to growth, which Purdey refers to as the growth paradigm, is remarkable. As well as national governments, all major international institutions, all regional trading blocs, all multinational corporations, and virtually all civil societies around the world are seized of the same objective.

This book examines the deep origins and rise to prominence of the idea of economic growth. It explains why, despite the diversity of cultures, levels of development, and other divisions typical of international politics, all major actors in the modern global polity pursue an identical political priority. Purdey critically examines the growth paradigm highlighting its environmental impact, and climate change in particular. Using a neo-Gramscian approach, Purdey re-engages the 'limits to growth controversy, identifying the commitment to growth as a form of utopianism that is as dangerous as it is seductive.

By illuminating and interrogating the normative foundations of the growth paradigm, this book shifts the terrain of the limits debate from instrumental to ethical considerations. It will be of interest to students and scholars of political economy, international relations, environmental studies and ethics.
