Additional information
by Tim Jackson (Author)
In this new edition, Tim Jackson brings his explosive book up to date exploring both the philosophical basis for a lasting prosperity and the conceptual foundations for the economy of tomorrow. Starting from clear first principles, this revised edition articulates more precisely the dimensions of this new economy: the nature of enterprise, the quality of our working lives, the structure of investment and the role of the money supply. It shows how these dimensions can be transformed in ways which protect employment, facilitate social investment, reduce inequality and deliver both ecological and financial stability.
