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.
