Prosperity Without Growth

Economics for a Finite Planet

Tim Jackson

This thought-provoking book challenges the idea that continued economic growth is the solution to global prosperity and well-being. A sustainability advisor to the UK government argues that increasing consumption adds little to happiness and harms the environment. Instead of relying on growth, the author offers a vision for human flourishing within the ecological limits of a finite planet. This updated edition of the author's influential study is a must-read for those interested in sustainable development.
