The Poverty of Growth by Olivier De Schutter is a revolutionary exploration that intricately weaves together the complex threads of economic growth and social justice. This compelling book offers a clear, calm, and thought-provoking narrative that invites readers to confront the critical issues of our time.

In a world increasingly plagued by climate emergencies and widening inequality, De Schutter boldly argues that the relentless pursuit of economic growth is fundamentally flawed. He highlights that a "rising tide" does not lift all boats; instead, it often exacerbates the very problems it seeks to address.

Key features of The Poverty of Growth include:

  • Innovative Perspective: De Schutter reveals how traditional growth ideologies undermine human rights and deepen the wealth divide.
  • Critical Analysis: The author meticulously critiques the consequences of growth on our planet, advocating for alternatives that prioritize social equity over profit.
  • Empowering Call to Action: This book serves as a powerful summons for transformative progress, championing human dignity and sustainable practices.

Recognized for its impactful insights, The Poverty of Growth is essential reading for anyone concerned about the future of society and our planet. De Schutter’s thought-provoking conclusions encourage readers to imagine a world where poverty is not merely addressed but eradicated through innovative and compassionate strategies. Join the conversation and redefine your understanding of progress with this essential work.

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.’
