“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

“The myth of growth leads at best to what Herman Daly once called ‘uneconomic growth’. At worst it destroys lives & destabilises society.
As Ralf Waldo Emerson argued [150yrs ago, the] greatest wealth is health; without health there is no wealth.” #PostGrowth #Degrowth

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...
@timjackson.org.uk: “Economic growth has a near mythical status in the affections of economists and politicians. But wishful thinking won’t solve the climate crisis.”
Peter Victor: "The physical scale of the economy must be reduced to avoid further degradation of life-supporting planetary systems.”
Join us next month for an interesting discussion about 'The Care Economy' with @timjackson.org.uk details can be found on our events page. @cusp.ac.uk
“Because capitalism wants endless growth, it is constantly seeking out new ways for us to consume. Adverts support the expansion of markets into new areas of life.
Reclaim adverts, escape growth.” #PostCapitalism #Degrowth #PostGrowth

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.

New blog: How can farmers and food workers care?
FFCC's Dr Charlie Taverner on how food work is valued and what farmers and delivery drivers have in common with nurses and doctors.

In a blog post for @cusp.ac.uk I argue that countries are not decoupling fast enough and that growth remains a barrier to genuine progress on carbon emissions. But the increased rate of decoupling should prompt reflections from environmentalists and ecological economists.

Yesterday, FFCC brought together leaders from across food, farming and land use for a cross-sector discussion on shared priorities and practical routes to action.
The high price of cheap food—who’s counting the cost of our national diet? // As the new @ffc-commission.bsky.social report launches, @timjackson.org.uk explores the hidden costs of a booming fast-food industry & what it means for our health, communities and environment. → cusp.ac.uk/themes/healt...
Assessing public support for degrowth // New study by CUSP fellow @krpd.bsky.social and colleagues finds that—contrary to common political and media claims—the majority of respondents support #degrowth when presented with the full proposal, regardless of the label. → cusp.ac.uk/themes/aetw/...
"It was becoming increasingly clear that the allegiance to economic growth is a new religious form. That growth-based consumerism is itself a secular theodicy."

I assume FIRE has been turbocharged post-pandemic, with the combo of job disillusionment & asset appreciation.
