Growth: A History and a Reckoning is a nonfiction economics book by Daniel Susskind that examines the history, meaning, and consequences of economic growth. Rather than treating growth as an unquestioned good or an outright evil, the book frames it as a policy and moral problem with real tradeoffs. Susskind argues that growth has delivered extraordinary benefits: higher living standards, longer lives, and broad reductions in poverty. At the same time, he shows that the pursuit of growth has also contributed to inequality, environmental strain, and political and social distortions. The book is not a technical macroeconomics manual, but a wide-ranging public argument about how modern societies should think about prosperity. Its purpose is to explain why growth became central to economic life, why it remains difficult to replace, and how it might be redirected so that it better reflects social values beyond GDP alone.
