The document discusses the differences between economic growth and economic development. Economic growth focuses only on increasing the quantity of goods and services produced without considering how it impacts society or income distribution. Economic development focuses on improving quality of life factors like education, living standards, and helping poorer groups. Pursuing only economic growth does not benefit the economy or environment long-term and can damage the environment, increase poverty, and lower standards of living. This is referred to as traditional development because it focuses solely on growth over quality or development.
