«Prosperity without Growth» is Tim Jackson's economic essay, published by Routledge in paperback (350 pages, in English).
Tim Jackson questions whether economic growth is the solution to global problems: in advanced economies, consuming more does not increase happiness and ecosystems are degraded. He proposes redefining prosperity and organizing the economy to thrive within the limits of the planet, without relying on continuous growth.
This second edition includes the subtitle «Foundations for the Economy of Tomorrow» and a foreword by Charles, Prince of Wales.
A work for readers interested in ecological economics, sustainability, and the debate on the limits of economic growth.
