He is full of paradoxes: he is a self-publicist who claims to be fiercely shy, a motivator of others who wore odd socks on the day of the launch of his airline, and a billionaire who borrows fivers without hesitation from friends and employees.

Our prevailing vision of social progress is fatally dependent on a false promise: that there will always be more and more for everyone. Forged in the crucible of capitalism, this foundational myth has come dangerously unravelled. The relentless pursuit of eternal growth has delivered ecological destruction, financial fragility, social instability and the biggest global health crisis in a century. What should we do when our myths desert us? How are we to adjust to a new economic normal? What does life after capitalism look like? Weaving together philosophical reflection, economic insight and social vision, Tim Jackson’s provocative thesis is that a post growth society is a richer, not a poorer one. Material progress has changed our lives – in many ways for the better. But the luxury of having can too easily obscure the happiness of belonging, the satisfaction of achieving and the simple lightness of being. A genuine prosperity demands a deeper respect for relationship and meaning than capitalism allows. Jackson’s far-reaching essay is both a manifesto for system change and an invitation to rekindle a deeper conversation about the nature of the human condition.
Inside Richard Branson's Business Empire

Als Tim Jacksons Buch »Wohlstand ohne Wachstum« vor sieben Jahren erstmals erschien, avancierte es schnell zum Standardwerk. »Unsere gesamte Wirtschaftsordnung baut auf ewigem Wachstum auf – aber nun brauchen wir einen anderen Motor«, lautete die kurze wie brisante Diagnose des renommierten britischen Ökonomen – und daran hat sich nichts geändert. Die Notwendigkeit umzusteuern ist dringlicher denn je, und so kommt die komplett überarbeitete Neuauflage der »Bibel der Wachstumskritik« gerade zur rechten Zeit. Das Buch bietet eine fundierte Analyse der Auswirkungen der Finanzkrisen, legt den Fokus auf die ganze Welt und schildert die Herausforderungen und Chancen einer Postwachstumsgesellschaft, welche die öko-logischen Grenzen unseres Planeten nicht überschreitet und trotzdem in Wohlstand lebt.
