Over the past two centuries, economic growth has freed billions from poverty and made our lives far healthier and longer. As a result, the unfettered pursuit of growth defines economic life around the world. Yet this prosperity has come at an enormous deepening inequalities, destabilizing technologies, environmental destruction and climate change.Confusion reigns. For many, in our era of anemic economic progress, the worry is slowing growth – in the UK, Europe, China and elsewhere. Others understandably claim, given its costs, that the only way forward is through "degrowth", deliberating shrinking our economies.At this time of uncertainty about growth and its value, award-winning economist Daniel Susskind has written an essential reckoning. In a sweeping analysis full of historical insight, he argues that we cannot abandon growth but shows instead how we must redirect it, making it better reflect what we truly value. He explores what really drives growth, and offers original ideas for combatting our economic slowdown.Lucid, thought-provoking and brilliantly researched, A Reckoning is a vital guide to one of our greatest preoccupations.

Author: Samhita Mukhopadhyay
Narrator: Samhita Mukhopadhyay
We can bury the girlboss, but what comes next? The former executive editor of Teen Vogue tells the story of her personal workplace reckoning and argues for collective responsibility to reimagine work as we know it. "As I sat in the front row that day, I was 80 percent faking it with a 100-percent-real Gucci bag." Samhita Mukhopadhyay had finally made it: she had her dream job, dream clothes-dream life. But time and time again, she found herself sacrificing time with family and friends, paying too much for lattes, and limping home after working twelve hours a day. Success didn’t come without costs, right? Or so she kept telling herself. And Mukhopadhyay wasn’t alone: Far too many of us are taught that we need to work ourselves to the bone to live a good life. That we just need to climb up the corporate ladder, to "lean in" and "hustle," to enact change.

Author: Mike Wendling
Narrator: Mike Wendling
The United States has become an almost unrecognizable country-with millions in thrall to conspiracy theories, toxic populism, and the far right edging closer to total power-a dire threat to civil society and democratic institutions. While the MAGA movement was in remission due to Donald Trump’s defeat in 2020, the fascist fringes have not just survived but have continued to thrive and burrow into the mainstream. The January 6th Capitol Riot prosecutions have done little to curb their enthusiasm for mayhem. Trump’s base in the Republican Party is committed to their candidate like never before. The institutionalization of racist voter suppression and the outdated logic behind the Electoral College means he could take back the White House. Apocalyptic messaging ensures the alt-right, anti-government, anti-LGBT, and white nationalist groups see the next election as a life-or-death struggle and are uniting to back the one person they can all agree on-guaranteeing another chaotic election. In this chilling expose, Wendling encounters Capital rioters, COVID deniers, QAnon supporters, and Proud Boys and uncovers the roots of a movement that threatens to shatter the foundations of democracy.
