Is it time to rethink economic growth? In this book, Tim Jackson invites us to reflect on the need for an ecological macroeconomics that does not depend on constant growth. He argues that, in developed countries, continuous economic growth can undermine prosperity, understood as health, happiness, good relationships, and a sense of purpose in life. Jackson proposes an economic model that prioritizes environmental investments, public spending, and the redistribution of income and employment, while setting limits on resource consumption. This book proposes an alternative to avoid financial and ecological collapse, promoting a stable and sustainable economy.
