Synopsis
Growth Fetish is a book about economics and politics by the Australian liberal political theorist Clive Hamilton. Published in 2003 it became a best-seller in Australia, a unusual feat for what is normally considered a dry subject. The book has been the subject of much controversy, and has managed to infuriate commentators on both the left and right.
