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 Jacksons 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.
