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.

“You will own nothing and be happy.”

@rustshackelford: wasn’t that the message of Jesus, Buddha, and basically every philosopher, until today’s TV evangelists anyway.

Constant economic growth turned capitalism into a pyramid scheme. Its impossible to sustain over the long term for the same reason pyramid schemes don’t work: we run out of people.
Shareholders are going to have to accept stable profits, rather than x% increase every quarter. Probably in the near future because current x% increase is based on jacking up prices to consumers rather than actual growth. And consumer’s income is fairly static, as is their ability to service debt.
@rustshackleford23 You don’t appear to understand the issue well enough to speak on the topic. Prosperity without growth is what a number of societies had for millennia. Everyone having enough is a very different goal than no one owning anything. You’re talking about a different proposal, one advocated by a rich elite that seeks to give the rich, or governments controlled by the rich, universal ownership such that everyone is a debt peon. Every sane person hates that idea. But that’s not what this book is about. The argument here is that modern capitalism, with its designed to fail products, is daft and bad for the planet, which is demonstrably correct. As is the fact that real growth can’t be sustained forever given a static (or shrinking) population you know, why pyramid schemes don’t work.
Capitalism isn’t innately a pyramid scheme, but the exponential growth model of capitalism practiced by many corporations absolutely is.
