Growth: good or bad?

Global Truths with Dr Keith Suter

Could growth be damaging economies? It seems a ridiculous question, but it's well worth considering.

Growth is not about bigger or better, it's about more. The drive for growth is a cancer in the fabric of how capital is deployed in modern business. What does the future look like when growth is being fuelled by massive companies like Google, Meta and Microsoft? The big three have unquestionably missed an opportunity to innovate because they've focused only on growth.

In this episode of Global Truths, Dr Keith Suter introduces us to what he calls 'the rot economy', where big business ebbs and flows through punishing cycles of binging and purging human capital in a drive for one thing: growth.
