		Hamilton also proposes that the pursuit of growth has been at a tremendous cost in terms of the environment, erosion of democracy, and the values of society as a whole, as well as not delivering the hoped for increases in personal happiness.
		Hamilton proposes that where a society has developed to the point at which the majority of people live reasonably comfortably, the pursuit of growth is pointless and should be curtailed.
		Clive Hamilton is the head of the Australia Institute, an independent think-tank.

	Policy
		Hamilton agrees that 'there are powerful arguments for more economic growth in countries where a large proportion of the populace lives in poverty' (p.27).
		Hamilton is on stronger statistical ground when he argues that post-war growth has not translated into greater happiness (pp.29-30).
		Hamilton thinks that capitalism's 'narrow form of rationality' is hostile to the need for 'connection with the mysterious', but how then does he explain the very high levels of religious belief and practice in one of the most market-oriented and 'consumerist' societies that has ever existed, the United States?

		Hamilton, though, observes that something has gone wrong with the theory and that liberalism hasn't delivered what it was supposed to.
		Hamilton's criticism of the market means that he is opposed to the "crass materialism" of modern culture, as are conservatives.
		But Hamilton quotes studies which show that young Americans are increasingly tending to believe the very opposite: that rather than being self-authored their lives are being controlled by outside forces.

	Economic growth, greens and living standards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Dr Clive Hamilton and Dr Hugh Saddler produced a paper in July 1997 for The Australian Institute (a Canberra-based green propaganda outfit) in which they outlined the case and the 'thinking' behind the GPI.
		That Hamilton and Saddler are utterly clueless on the nature of growth was made painfully obvious by their assertion on page five of their paper that there has been "a failure to maintain investment in the national capital stock".
		One of Hamilton and Saddler's the more ludicrous claims is that unemployment is one "of the social costs of the growth process[!]" Widespread persistent unemployment is caused by overpricing labour.

	ourcommunity.com.au - Communities in Control Summaries 2004 - Clive Hamilton
		Clive Hamilton, executive director of the Australia Institute, in his address to delegates at the Communities in Control Conference, focussed on Australia's non-Government and community organisations (NGOs), their role in democratic society and the threats they face from government to their independence.
		Dr Hamilton said that NGOs played a vital role in society and "are admired and respected not just for the services they deliver to marginalised and disadvantaged groups but for their contribution to public debate and the democratic process".
		He also asserted that, given growing public disillusionment with political processes both in Australia and overseas, community organisations had given many people who are "frustrated with the political process have turned their energies to community organisations, and hope to help create a better society through them" – making them even more vital to sustaining democracy.

	Australia Institute's green bigotry and economic illiteracy
		Dr Clive Hamilton, executive director of The Australia institute, seems to have been getting quite a bit of favourable publicity of late.
		Hamilton had been offended by the Centre for Policy Studies (CPS) because it had correctly pointed out that such campaigns are economically counter productive.
		Hamilton reversed the logic and declared that not buying Australian would drive the exchange rate down thereby expand foreign demand for Australian goods thereby expanding our export industries.

	Capitalism without carbon
		Running from the Storm, Clive Hamilton's book on climate change, and in particular climate change policy under federal Labor and Liberal governments in the 1980s and '90s, is essential reading for environmentalists.
		Hamilton's answer is that a trading system “without loopholes offers the best opportunity of achieving sustained reductions in global greenhouse [gas] emissions as it minimises the cost of cutting emissions while maintaining the environment integrity of the [Kyoto] protocol”.
		Private-sector dominance appears to be a fait accompli for Hamilton; he asserted on ABC Radio National's Earthbeat on April 6 that renewable energy projects “are going to be done for the most part by private companies” without explaining why corporate dominance is a constant around which everything must revolve (see <http://www.abc.net.au/rn/science/earth/stories/s525709.htm>).

	BOOK REVIEW: Growth Fetish, by Clive Hamilton - 17 May 2003
		In fact, the final chapter is titled "The post-growth society", and envisages that the future of society will be found in a conscious rejection of the idea that economic growth is good, because the price imposed (on people, families and society) is unacceptably high.
		The author, Clive Hamilton, is head of the Australia Institute, a think tank which has taken on the task of developing a coherent and practical alternative to that of the Marxist left, which was intellectually discredited by the failure of communism, following the collapse of the Soviet empire in the late 1980s.
		The problem in modern societies is not growth, as Clive Hamilton suggests, but the distribution of wealth.

		Although a book by an Australian economist may appear, at first, a somewhat dull prospect, Clive Hamilton's book is enthralling and inspiring from the word go.
		Starting from the point that the aim of all governments of both left and right is that of economic growth, he argues that, despite steady economic growth, in the West over a number of years, we are none the happier for it.
		As Clive Hamilton argues, this is one revolution we can all take part in without the use of violence, simply by shopping and consuming less, whilst actually getting more from our lives.

		They have corrupted our social priorities and political structures, and have created a profound sense of alienation among young and old.
