| Â | Economic growth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The long-run path of economic growth is one of the central questions of economics; in spite of the problems of measurement, an increase in GDP of a country is generally taken as an increase in the standard of living of its inhabitants. | | | Concerns about possible negative effects of growth on the environment and society led some to advocate lower levels of growth, from which comes the idea of uneconomic growth, and Green parties which argue that economies are part of a global society and a global ecology and cannot outstrip their natural growth without damaging them. | | | The modern conception of economic growth began with the critique of Mercantilism, especially by the physiocrats and with the Scottish Enlightenment thinkers such as David Hume and Adam Smith, and the foundation of the discipline of modern political economy. |

| | Moreover, at least one study has suggested that chemotherapy given for childhood cancers may also negatively affect bone growth. | | | The growth plate, also known as the epiphyseal plate or physis, is the area of growing tissue near the end of the long bones in children and adolescents. | | | Although many growth plate injuries are caused by accidents that occur during play or athletic activity, growth plates are also susceptible to other disorders, such as bone infection, that can alter their normal growth and development. |

| | A 10-year-old child with this condition may be about the size of a 7-year-old; their bone age and growth potential will also be more like that of a 7-yearold. | | | Growth ceases between 16 and 18 years of age, when the growing ends of the bones fuse. | | | One of the most important things a parent can do to safeguard a child's growth and general health is to have the child examined and measured regularly by a pediatrician, family doctor, or other qualified health care provider. |

| Â | Growth Fetish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Hamilton relates the fetish for growth to a "development mentality", and to a neoliberal "instrumental value theory [which] maintains that, while humans are valuable in and of themselves, the non-human world is valuable only insofar as it contributes to the wellbeing of humans" (page 191). | | | The Institute is also researching the growing phenomenon of downshifting, which Hamilton feels may be a response to the growth fetish, laying the foundation for a post-growth society. | | | He states that the pursuit of growth has become a fetish, in that it is seen as a universal magic cure for all of society's ills. |

| | Economic growth will deliver a life of ever-increasing leisure, more free services, devices to relieve the drudgery of household work, opportunities for personal enrichment, exciting space travel, and cures for the diseases of humankind. | | | Thus growth takes on significance not because it multiplies the pile of goods and services available for consumption but because of the excitation it produces in people - the promise it holds to attain bliss. | | | Growth fetishism and its neo-liberal handmaiden therefore assail democracy itself. |

| | Growth Fetish, Hamilton admits that, in the past times of scarcity, growth was beneficial - but he argues that in today's era of superabundance development no longer leads to subjective wellbeing. | | | Far from being characterised by a growth fetish, contemporary society is defined by low expectations about what is possible, and anxiety about possible side-effects of progress. | | | The orthodox view, which is advocated by Hamilton, tends to cast doubts on the benefits of economic growth, focusing on problems such as environmental degradation, unhappiness and inequality. |
