Tim Jackson 
Post Growth 
Life after Capitalism

Winner of the 2022 Eric Zencey Prize in Ecological Economics

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. Post Growth is both a manifesto for system change and an invitation to rekindle a deeper conversation about the nature of the human condition.

Now available as an audiobook narrated by the author.
