Praise for Post Growth
‘With great sensitivity and wonderful insight, Tim Jackson shows us that there is life after the growth imperative – and it’s a richer, more humane form of life. With its blend of science, history and biographical detail, Post Growth was a delight to read and gave me much to think about.’
Svend Brinkmann – Author of The Joy of Missing Out
‘Through the window of our pandemic lockdown Jackson sees both the sins of capitalism and the renewal of hope. An instructive and stimulating read!’
Herman Daly – Author of Steady State Economics
‘Tim Jackson’s compelling postgrowth vision strikes at the heart of today’s greatest existential challenge and human predicament: either we continue to propagate a capitalistic growth paradigm that fosters inequality, climate and health crises or we build our lives and livelihoods around a holistic system providing what is truly meaningful.’
Sandrine Dixson-Declève – Co-President, The Club of Rome
‘This book demonstrates that changing the current economic paradigm is not a crazy dream, but a real – and absolutely essential – possibility. For all of us. Right now. Taking the world towards the sustainable development we need is a revolution waiting to happen, if we only allow it.’
Enrico Giovannini – Former Chief Statistician, OECD
‘Post growth is one of the most important ideas of the 21st century, and Tim Jackson one of its most powerful proponents. Don’t miss this brilliant new book.’
Jason Hickel – Author of Less is More
‘An unapologetic, clear-eyed vision, Post Growth challenges the reader to venture beyond the comforting certainty in the misguided economic myths of the past and present. Jackson weaves my father Robert Kennedy’s words into a comprehensive distillation of our core economic foundations and presents our assumptions about growth not as laws of nature but as flawed precepts in inescapable conflict with them. Post Growth is part grand historical narrative, part philosophical treatise, and taken fully, an invitation for readers to explore the deeper undercurrents of what can make a just, fulfilling and sustainable society.’
Kerry Kennedy – President of Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights
‘With a rare combination of incisive economic analysis and poetic imagination, Tim Jackson brilliantly exposes the flaws of our growth-addicted economies and reveals the profound truth that there will be – indeed there must be – life after capitalism. A thrilling intellectual journey towards a post growth world.’
Roman Krznaric – Author of The Good Ancestor
‘Some call Tim Jackson’s thesis about capitalism’s flaws, and proposed remedies, provocative. After two decades as a successful capitalist (or so they tell me) I don’t find it provocative at all, rather an existential imperative.’
Jeremy Leggett – Founder of Solarcentury and SolarAid
‘Compelling in its critique of capitalism’s relentless obsession with “more”, forensic in its analysis of the growth myth’s destruction of human flourishing and planetary wellbeing, and utterly inspiring in its vision of the better, fuller, more fulfilled lives that are possible, Post Growth is an urgent and eloquent plea for radical change.’
Caroline Lucas – MP, Green Party
‘Post Growth is a short book. Which means you can afford to re-read it, hungrily and rapidly, to get what you may not have got first time around. Tim Jackson does us the courtesy of not trotting out a well-meaning diatribe about the fatal inadequacies of growth-obsessed capitalism; he seeks rather to explain why it is that the minds of so many have been entirely captured by the language of
