Sažetak
The main goal of this text is to provide a survey of global literature concerning the growth imperative in economics, illustrating its connections to the situation and current practices in Croatia. The first part of the work will present a critique of the existing system and economy using Robinson’s concept (2004) of inherent crisis. Fol lowing this, the relationship between the economy and wealth, or prosperity in society and the influence of the dependency of the economy on two main unsustainable features – growth and debt – will be presented. At the end we try to provide an answer to the title question of this article: What kind of economy would really have as a purpose and goal the practical application of sustainable development? There is also a separate analysis of a Croatian position regarding all those questions and concepts.
