Tim Jackson Book order

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.

»Tim Jackson nimmt die Ökonomie in die Verantwortung und skizziert, wie sie eine Wirtschaft vordenken kann, die im Dienst von Mensch und Natur steht.« Maja Göpel Seit Jahrzehnten richten wir unser Leben an der Überzeugung aus, dass »besser« auch immer »mehr« heißen muss. Doch das Streben nach ständigem Wachstum hat zu ökologischer Zerstörung, sozialer Instabilität und einer globalen Gesundheitskrise geführt. Wenn Wachstum uns so sehr schadet, warum verabschieden wir uns dann nicht davon? Tim Jackson stellt dem Mythos Wachstum seine Vision einer Gesellschaft gegenüber, die uns ohne Wachstum reicher macht statt ärmer. Sein Buch ist nicht nur ein Manifest für ein anderes Wirtschaftssystem, sondern vor allem eine Einladung, darüber nachzudenken, was das Leben lebenswert macht.

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.
