Prince Llywelyn of Wales refuses to swear loyalty to the king, Edward I. To defy the might of the English crown, Llywelyn will need allies. He looks to the west, to Ireland, where the ambitious Clan MacMurrough has set up its chieftain as high king. Together, the Welsh and Irish leaders plan to drive Edward’s forces from their land. Sir Hugh Longsword is summoned to deal with the crisis. With enemies at home thirsting for his blood, he is only too grateful to be sent to Ireland.

In this powerful, incisive book, David Pilling reveals the hidden biases of economic orthodoxy and explores the alternatives to GDP, from measures of wealth, equality, and sustainability to measures of subjective well-being. Authoritative, provocative, and eye-opening, The Growth Delusion offers witty and unexpected insights into how our society can respond to the needs of real people instead of pursuing growth at any cost.
