What can prosperity possibly mean in a world of environmental and social limits? The publication of Prosperity without Growth was a landmark in the sustainability debate. Tim Jackson’s piercing challenge to conventional economics openly questioned the most highly prized goal of politicians and economists alike: the continued pursuit of exponential economic growth. Its findings provoked controversy, inspired debate and led to a new wave of research building on its arguments and conclusions. 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. Seven years after it was first published, Prosperity without Growth is no longer a radical narrative whispered by a marginal fringe, but an essential vision of social progress in a post-crisis world. Fulfilling that vision is simply the most urgent task of our times.

The environment is "in." Global warming. Ozone depletion. Toxic waste. Acid rain. Concern that we are sinking ever deeper into "environmental debt" has sown the seeds of a growing U.S. Green Movement, transplanted from Europe. Unfortunately, all of the current talk and activity do not add up to a coherent environmental strategy on the part of government, industry, and environmental organizations. Here is the first book to explain why only a preventive environmental strategy can work, because growing population, consumption, and industrialization cripple current, rather haphazard, remedial efforts. Authored by two leading experts, this book shows how our society can make more with less, be more competitive and less polluting, while maintaining our standard of living by reducing and eventually eliminating the production of wastes and pollutants from industry, commerce, homes, farms, institutions. This may seem far-fetched, but be prepared to discover in these pages that there can be a middle ground between ecology and economyand that you can help achieve it. Youll find data and examplesfacts few have had access to beforethat any person can use, from engineers in industry to office workers to activists. Every concerned citizen will also want to consider the authors innovative suggestions for taxing wastes and using the proceeds to help companies and communities switch to new industrial processes. Also, you should evaluate their proposals to require meaningful waste and toxicity information on product labels, to make bans on chemicals and products a more credible and available corrective measure, and to secure permanent, high-level government support for pollution prevention. But, above all, this book is a self-help book for all whose home is Earth. An ounce of pollution prevention thats worth a pound of environmental cure. A way for concerned individuals to become agents for change in the marketplace, the workplace, and the voting place. Read on.

This paper examines Jackson's (2009a,b) 'prosperity without growth' paradigm which suggests organizational growth be restrained within the limitations and assumptions of a finitely resourced planet. The interpretativist methodology is delivered through organizational storytelling. Jackson demands government and business re-evaluate the financial and ecological sustainability of their underlying visions of prosperity. Jackson argues that this prosperity has been built on continuous economic growth, and suggests there is a need instead to pursue 'prosperity without growth', and that the concept of a growth based economy has failed to provide solutions to the 'tragedy of the commons'. Consequently, there is public concern that thoughtless and unconstrained pursuit of economic growth is ecologically unsustainable and will lead to tragedy for all. Although many elements have been addressed separately in the paper, it is important to note that the economic, ecologic, and social aspects of sustainability, particularly with respect to 'responsible' consumption, are all interrelated. Therefore, the impacts of these elements need to be considered simultaneously when developing sustainable policy, strategy and marketing models for the future where 'prosperity with growth' can remain a key concept. Research limitations include assumptions that a market-based economy is superior to other alternatives and that innovation raises productivity which raises living standards. Originality of the paper is that achieving 'prosperity with growth' is possible as demonstrated by the Japanese Economic Model, with economic growth ensuring competitiveness, innovation, and 'responsible' consumption for long term organizational survival.
