Book
Post growth : life after capitalism / Tim Jackson.
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. Jackson dares us to imagine a world beyond capitalism - a place where relationship and meaning take precedence over profits and power. Both a manifesto for system change and an invitation to rekindle a deeper conversation about the nature of the human condition.-back cover.
