Economic Growth has its downside...

 



From a French textbook:

"Economic growth imposes a hectic form of life, producing overwork, stress, nervous depression, cardiovascular disease and, according to some, even the development of cancer."

Read more here about what European students are learning about economics. (Thanks to The Informed Reader for the pointer.)



Of course, that sentence is not from my favorite French textbook.
