‘It is a long time since I have read a radical book like Growth Fetish. I had forgotten how energizing it could be.’

Anne Manne, The Age

‘Australia’s most amazing economist . . . You will find [Growth Fetish] either exhilarating or deeply threatening.’

Ross Gittens, Sydney Morning Herald

‘A broadside against the underlying values of contemporary consumer capitalism . . . bound to trigger major controversy . . .’

Professor Frank Stilwell, Journal of Australian Political Economy

‘[Hamilton is] the thinking person’s anti-capitalist.’

Andrew Norton, Centre for Independent Studies

‘Clive Hamilton’s views manage to alienate big business, the Howard Government, the ALP right and the socialist left . . . it is not every day an economist rejects economic growth as a god-given good.’

Adele Horin, Sydney Morning Herald

‘Clive Hamilton’s garbage is just silly, dangerous, left-wing crap.’

Michael Egan, NSW Treasurer

‘An incisive critique of how the global economic and political systems have turned us into the miserable rich…whatever you choose to do and wherever you go, you will benefit from keeping a copy of Growth Fetish tucked up your sleeve.’

Dr Tim Flannery, Director, South Australian Museum

‘A provocative, perhaps revolutionary, and certainly very timely book. Growth Fetish will inspire, annoy and intrigue its readers and critics. Hamilton pulls no punches . . . This book is a must-read.’

Dr Natasha Cica, University of Canberra
