This is an excellent and MUST READ article by Bjørn Lomborg, published in Project Syndicate. Check it out!

via The Limits to Panic by Bjørn Lomborg – Project Syndicate.

The article takes a longitudinal approach, analyzing fears about growth over the last forty years. It provides a refreshing perspective to excessive fears about debt and austerity.

For me, this raises an interesting open question:

How should policy-makers promote more economic growth and protect the environment?

Any thoughts?
