Growth: A Reckoning by Daniel Susskind is a thought-provoking exploration that has earned its place as a longlisted contender for the prestigious 2024 Financial Times & Schroders Business Book of the Year. This enlightening book promises to reshape your understanding of economic growth and its profound implications for society.
In Growth: A Reckoning, Susskind delves into the complex relationship between economic growth, inequality, and environmental challenges. Over the past two centuries, while growth has lifted billions from poverty, it has simultaneously led to significant societal issues, including:
- Severe Inequalities: How wealth distribution has become increasingly skewed.
- Environmental Degradation: The toll growth has taken on our planet.
- Destabilizing Technologies: The impact of rapid technological advancements on job security.
As economic stagnation threatens countries worldwide—from the UK to China—Susskind argues that reevaluating growth is crucial. He navigates the ongoing debate between advocates of traditional growth and those who propose degrowth as a solution, suggesting that instead of abandoning growth, we should redirect it towards values that truly matter.
This book is a journey through history, providing insights into the forces driving growth, innovative approaches to combat stagnation, and a compelling vision for the future. With lucid prose and rigorous research, Growth: A Reckoning serves not only as a guide but as a vital resource for anyone aiming to understand the intricacies of modern economic life.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
