Our society is stuck in a dilemma. On the one hand, we need economic growth to secure our social welfare. One the other hand, we are now demanding more from our planet than it can bear. This dilemma is the starting point for 'Prosperity Without Growth. Economics for a Finite Planet' by the British professor Tim Jackson. He presents us with a new economic model in which ecological investments and a green service economy play a central role.
'Quite a revolutionary sounding message in economically turbulent times: abandon the growth model that has our economy in a stranglehold and move towards sustainable stability', says Knack.
