Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The dominant market-oriented definition of productivity excludes a wide range of human activities. With that definition, value is often given to activities that may he detrimental to the health and well-being of the human population and the natural world. Drawing upon a variety of disciplines, the authors in this book seek to redefine productivity in terms of social development and well-being, raising questions about what is produced, by whom and to what end, and offering recommendations for effective social policy change." --Résumé de l'éditeur.
