“Prosperity is not about wealth, it’s about health. Care, in all its forms, underpins a vibrant life. Yet in today’s economy, it is undervalued, underpaid and often overlooked.”

Growth has a near mythical status in the affections of economists + politicians. But wishful thinking won’t solve the climate crisis. #Postgrowth economics is not about returning to the cave but about breaking free from our intellectual prisons.—@timjackson.org.uk

He points to our report ‘The False Economy of Big Food’ where @timjackson.org.uk found unhealthy food costs us £268bn a year when you account for cost to the NHS, welfare support, social care, lost productivity and human cost 👉 ffcc.co.uk/publications...

Climate breakdown is a profound abdication of care, argues @timjackson.org.uk in his new @bmj.com opinion piece. Addressing it takes more than tech fixes—it means reimagining the purpose of the economy.

Tijd voor #CaringEconomists? @timjackson.org.uk ,welcome to the @caringmovement.bsky.social! "Als economen het over voorspoed hebben, hebben ze het vaak over wealth, materiële welvaart of rijkdom. U koppelt voorspoed aan health, gezondheid of welzijn". www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...
