What can prosperity possibly mean in a world of environmental and
social limits? The publication of Prosperity without Growth was a
landmark in the sustainability debate. Tim Jackson's piercing
challenge to conventional economics openly questioned the most
highly prized goal of politicians and economists alike: the
continued pursuit of exponential economic growth. Its findings
provoked controversy, inspired debate and led to a new wave of
research building on its arguments and conclusions. This
substantially revised and re-written edition updates those
arguments and considerably expands upon them. Jackson demonstrates
that building a 'post-growth' economy is a precise, definable and
meaningful task. Starting from clear first principles, he sets out
the dimensions of that task: the nature of enterprise; the quality
of our working lives; the structure of investment; and the role of
the money supply. He shows how the economy of tomorrow may be
transformed in ways that protect employment, facilitate social
investment, reduce inequality and deliver both ecological and
financial stability. Seven years after it was first published,
Prosperity without Growth is no longer a radical narrative
whispered by a marginal fringe, but an essential vision of social
progress in a post-crisis world. Fulfilling that vision is simply
the most urgent task of our times.
