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.

this book is NOT an empirical analysis of degrowth. If you want facts and figures, I recommend reading Jackson’s previous book, “Prosperity without growth.”
This is not your usual scientific how-to manual, in which the author purports to have figured out the answer to everything. I feel this is the point: Jackson invites the reader to follow his thought process of imagining what a post growth society might look like.
The book is framed as a series of story-like explorations, each revolving around a number of historical figures or anecdotes. Sometimes he meanders, and it takes him a while to get to the point, but when he does, it‘s usually quite moving.
In the prologue, he comes off a little bit grumpy; skipping the grumpy parts won’t diminish the experience that much, as far as I can tell.
