Quick Quotes
“We need to understand development as something totally different: development is care. It’s through a caring relationship with our natural wealth that we can create value, not through its destruction.”
Lorenzo Fioramonti, Professor of Political Economy: University of Pretoria
“Inclusive growth shouldn’t be a mere slogan, but a fundamental driving force for
sustainable development.” Pranab Mukherjee, former Indian President
“Developing inclusive growth makes societies fairer and development more widely beneficial. Realising inclusiveness and achieving sustainable development are therefore two
sides of the same coin.” Li Keqiang, Chinese Premier
“Building an inclusive economy is another reason we’ve got to break down systemic racism, including under-investment in
communities of colour.” Hillary Clinton, former American Secretary of State
“Our responsibility as scholars is to be open-minded. We can appreciate that the answer to reducing global poverty and creating growth isn’t in one neat box that you can take
off the shelf.” Dambisa Moyo, best-selling author and economist
“Income growth has been uneven – the bottom 20% have benefited from social grants and better access to services, and the top 20% have benefited from the rising demand for skills and pay increases. Those in the middle
have been left behind.” Pravin Gordhan, former South African Finance Minister
“For over 70 years, economics has been fixated on GDP, or national output, as its primary measure of progress. That fixation has been used to justify extreme inequalities of income and wealth, coupled with unprecedented destruction of the living world. For the 21st century, a far bigger goal is needed: meeting the human rights of every person within the means of our life-giving planet.”
Kate Raworth, Senior Visiting Research Associate and lecturer at Oxford University’s Environmental Change Institute
