Economic Growth at Any Cost Fails Us All We saw this paradigm at Davos last week, as leaders talked up growth. But that fails the planet and the world’s poorest.

#Poverty and the #ClimateCrisis won’t be solved by doubling down on economic growth.

This #ReclaimTheEconomyWeek, I argue in TIME for moving beyond the growth orthodoxy still defended at #Davos and towards new development models that put people and planet first.
