Prosperity without Growth
Prosperity without Growth
Beschrijving
Prosperity Without Growth argues that our present model of economic growth is not sustainable: it strains the resources of our planet to a breaking point, and causes climate change, environmental damage and psychological harm. Jackson presents a vision for a sustainable, ecological economic model that focuses on public welfare rather than growth, and explores the ways in which this transition might be realized.
Who should read
Economists, ecologists, sociologists and students of development studies Policymakers and think-tankers interested in moving towards a sustainable economy Anyone interested in alternatives to the prevailing logic of limitless economic growth
