Read the introduction and chapter 1: The Education of an Economist from Jon Erickson's book, The Progress Illusion: Reclaiming Our Future from the Fairytale of Economics

"Erickson's powerful new book shows how flawed economic thinking has shaped not only our economy but also our society and politics. The story is both deeply disturbing and hopeful, as Erickson describes an emerging brand of economics that shifts focus from GDP to well-being. Highly recommended."
James Gustave Speth, former Dean, Yale School of the Environment; author of "America the Possible: Manifesto for a New Economy"
