Prosperity without Growth: Economics for a Finite Planet

In Prosperity without Growth, Tim Jackson presents a radical challenge to the conventional belief that economic growth is the sole path to prosperity. In a world facing environmental collapse and widening inequality, Jackson argues that endless growth is not only unsustainable but also incompatible with true human well-being. Drawing on decades of research, the book dismantles the myth that GDP growth equates to progress and prosperity, offering a new vision for economies that prioritize ecological balance and social justice. Jackson presents compelling evidence that we can thrive within the limits of a finite planet by embracing sustainable practices, reducing consumption, and redefining success beyond material wealth. Prosperity without Growth is a groundbreaking work that reimagines what it means to live well in the 21st century and offers a roadmap for achieving prosperity in harmony with the Earth’s boundaries.
