This substantially revised and re-written edition updates those
arguments and considerably expands upon them. Jackson
demonstrates that building a ‘post-growth’ economy is a precise,
definable and meaningful task. Starting from clear first
principles, he sets out the dimensions of that task: the nature
of enterprise; the quality of our working lives; the structure of
investment; and the role of the money supply. He shows how the
economy of tomorrow may be transformed in ways that protect
employment, facilitate social investment, reduce inequality and
deliver both ecological and financial stability.
