Capitalism is broken. The relentless pursuit of more has delivered climate catastrophe, social inequality and financial instability - and left us ill-prepared for life in a global pandemic. Tim Jackson's passionate and provocative book dares us to imagine a world beyond capitalism - a place where relationship and meaning take precedence over profits and power. Post Growth is both a manifesto for system change and an invitation to rekindle a deeper conversation about the nature of the human condition.
Now available as an audiobook narrated by the author.

Notes
"At a time when the oligarchy is striving to greenwash its ecocidal ways, Tim Jackson's empowering and elegiac new book takes the real fight to them, elegantly but forcefully: to flourish on a living planet, humanity must plan for life after capitalism. Not only a 'must read' but a highly enjoyable one!"

"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 The Divide and Less is More
PRAISE FOR TIM JACKSON'S PROSPERITY WITHOUT GROWTH
"I remember exactly where I was when I first read Prosperity without Growth. It cuts through the intellectual clamor with clarity, courage - and hope."
Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate
"Tim Jackson's Prosperity without Growth systematizes and renders tangible an essential project few believed to be practical: recovering the dream of shared prosperity and human development through decoupling it from the bandwagon of growth. Essential reading for those refusing to succumb to a dystopic future."
Yanis Varoufakis, Professor of Economics, University of Athens
