		Uneconomic growth, in welfare economics, human development theory and some forms of ecological economics, is economic growth which reflects or creates a decline in human well-being.
		As part of the analysis that led to the creation of human development theory out of the older fields of welfare economics and ecological economics, in the 1990s, it was claimed that well-being in all developed nations peaked in the period 1979-1982, and had been declining (although GNP and GDP had been growing) since.
		Whether growth has caused harms of its own, they say, is not the same question as whether the growth itself is human activity seeking an increase in their well-being.

	Sustainability • Hubbert Peak of Oil Production
		Growth in physical throughput will become uneconomic long before it becomes physically impossible, in the sense that the extra environmental costs provoked by growth will be greater than the extra production benefits provided by growth.
		Growth beyond the optimal scale is in reality uneconomic growth, even if we continue to call it economic growth.
		The idea of sustainable development is to avoid uneconomic growth, and to move the path of progress from quantitative expansion to qualitative improvement.

	Right Livelihood Award: Speech Daly
		Growth in GNP is so favored by economists that they call it "economic" growth, thus ruling out by terminological baptism the very possibility of "uneconomic" growth in GNP.
		One might accept the theoretical possibility of uneconomic growth, but argue that it is irrelevant for practical purposes since, it could be alleged, we are nowhere near the optimal scale.
		Subsystem growth is ultimately limited by the size of the total system, even under neo-classical assumptions of easy substitution of manmade for natural capital.

		Even if growth entailed no environmental costs, part of what we mean by poverty and welfare is a function of relative rather than absolute income, that is, of social conditions of distributive inequality.
		While growth in rich countries might be uneconomic, growth in poor countries where GDP consists largely of food, clothing, and shelter, is still very likely to be economic.
		The obvious solution of restraining uneconomic growth for rich countries to give opportunity for further economic growth, at least temporarily, in poor countries, is ruled out by the ideology of globalization, which can only advocate global growth.

		It seems unlikely that most advocates of reform have the stamina to do so, nor the background required to debate each issue with economists or accountants that build their careers on the detailed extension and improvement of standards that already exist.
		This is perhaps the most obvious and widely-held critique of current national accounting and economic growth reporting systems - the creators of the GNP and GDP measures themselves advise against its use as a single measure of economic growth - but politicians and press typically do so without caveat nor apology.
		Not only do most businesses raise capital based on numbers derived from current standards, here are extensive lobbying efforts by the accounting industry to keep those standards roughly as they are: complex, loopholed, and unable to be applied or audited easily by laymen.

		Scientific American uses the definition вЂњUneconomic growth occurs when increases in production come at an expense in resources and well-being that is worth more than the items made.вЂќ (Economics in a Full World, September 2005 issue) which comes from Daly.
		Uneconomic growth often reflects poorly developed or poorly planned growth, rather than growth that is bad in and of its self.
		For example if one assumes that Atlantic hurricanes and Pacific typhoons have intensified in recent years due to global warming, then a rapid surge in automobile ownership in China, Brazil, and India could be seen as uneconomic growth.

		Instead of the previous concentration on a 4% growth rate we are now told that we should expect a growth rate equal to or better than the UK average (2.5%), up 1% from the abysmal performance of the previous Executive (1.5%).

	Climate Change 2001: Mitigation
		This literature describes situations in which GNP growth continues without a corresponding increase in human welfare as “overdevelopment” or “uneconomic growth” (Daly, 1997).
		For developing countries, however, the research suggests that this decoupling perspective may start from the insight that non-monetary assets (in terms of natural resources, just as in terms of community networks) need to be protected and enhanced to improve the livelihoods of the poorer and less powerful sections of society.
		Structures, patterns, and rates of economic growth may have to be shaped in such a way that these non-monetary assets are not diminished, but increased.

	Sustainable Economics
		According to Herman E. Daly, professor in the School of Public Policy at the University of Maryland, uneconomic growth arises from an undesirable balance of qualities known as utility and disutility.
		In his book, Beyond Growth, he argues that natural capital is not valued and therefore not addressed in economic analyses such as reports on the Gross National Product, a commonly used indicator of a nation's economic success.
		Yet uneconomic growth is the reality that these boats are useless if there are no fish to catch.

	Steady-State Economics, by Herman Daly
		Growth requires technical progress and technical progress alters the composition of the labor force, making more places for educated workers and fewer for uneducated, but opportunities to acquire qualifications are kept (with a few exceptions for exceptional talents) for those families who have them already [Robinson, 1972, p.
		The idea of economic growth overcoming physical limits by angelizing GNP is equivalent to overcoming physical limits to population growth by reducing the through put intensity or metabolism of human beings.
		The intergenerational costs of growth are not at all clear, but as time goes on it would seem that the negative bequest of accelerated entropy increase would weigh increasingly heavily since low entropy is the ultimate means upon which all technologies depend.

		The decision was taken by the IBF in view of uneconomic advertising rates in the Indian television industry.

		Beyond some point growth in production and population will begin to increase social and environmental costs faster than it increases production benefits, thereby ushering in an era of uneconomic growth―growth that on balance makes us poorer rather than richer, that increases “illth” faster than wealth, and that is likely to be ecologically unsustainable.
		Let’s take the easy ones first―continual growth in physical throughput in a finite, nongrowing, and entropic world is impossible, and beyond some point throughput growth becomes the main reason for environmental unsustainability by overwhelming environmental source and sink capacities.
		Welfare growth with constant throughput is all to the good and would help us bear the burden of limiting throughput to a sustainable level.

		Productivism is the belief that measurable economic productivity and growth is the purpose of human organization (e.g., work), and that "more production is necessarily good".
		According to those who use the term 'productivism', the difference between themselves and the promoters of conventional neoclassical economics is that a productivist does not believe in the idea of "uneconomic growth", i.e.
		His theory of "development as freedom" is one of several human development theories, that states that the growth of individual capital, that is, "talent", "creativity" and "personal ingenuity", is more significant than the growth of many other measurable quantities, e.g.
