Meeting in Huddersfield 5th June 2010
Peter Wrigley provided this synopsis:
All political parties, with the possible exception of the Greens, seem to regard continued economic growth as a high priority, and most commentators seem to regard the achievement of continued economic growth as a measure of a government's success.
However, whether or not continued growth is sustainable or even desirable is being increasingly questioned by some economists and other academics. Peter Wrigley, a retired teacher of economics, will put and examine critically the case for prosperity without growth.

The venue is the Albert Hotel, 36 Victoria Lane, Town Centre, Huddersfield HD1 2QF. We have booked the back room, from where we can buy drinks but also bring our own food if people wish to join us with their packed lunches from 1.30pm.
There is a car park nearby, under the Kingsgate Shopping Centre.
