Join us for a discussion session exploring what economic growth really tells us about progress.[1]
We’ll examine real-world case studies from countries like China, Taiwan, and Nigeria to understand the drivers of growth, the limits of GDP as a metric, and the trade-offs involved, from inequality and environmental damage to increasing animal product consumption.
This session is inspired by week 4 of David Nash’s 7-week program Impact in Global Development: A Discussion Series, which explores the history of global development and different approaches taken to achieve progress in this field.
