The Great Debate Head to Head
with Jonathon Porritt and Daniel Ben-Ami
Economic Growth: Bane or Boon?
7pm, Tuesday, 19 October 2010
Gallery North,
University of Northumbria
(Gallery North is located in Squires Building directly opposite
the Sandyford Road entrance to Newcastle Civic Centre)
Is economic growth a good thing? Until the 1970s few would
have even thought of asking this question.
Yet today the West is often seen as guilty of overconsumption,
while the rapid growth of developing countries such as China
and India is seen by many in a highly negative light.
People who champion growth are accused
of encouraging greed, damaging the environment and
widening social inequalities. Daniel Ben-Ami, in his new book
Ferraris for all,
challenges these notions, arguing that
society as a whole benefits from greater affluence and that we
should celebrate growth. Renowned environmentalist and writer
Jonathon Porritt disagrees and will take up the arguments
in what promises to be a truly great head to head debate.
So, come along, hear the arguments and have your say!
Chaired by: Caspar Hewett,
Director, The Great Debate
