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.

"The government counts the costs of provision, but not the costs of non-provision.
Insufficient care drives many people into the arms of the NHS: at any one time, 13% of NHS beds are occupied by people waiting for social care support."
(Austerity is uneconomic.)

Care is the foundation for life itself. Yet in the market it’s treated as a second class citizen—barely recognised in the relentless rush for productivity+wealth. How did we arrive here? And what can we do to change things?
🗓️ Event: 2 Apr, Berlin → calendar.boell.de/en/event/buc... #TheCareEconomy
Much enjoyed the launch of @proftimjackson.bsky.social’s new book #TheCareEconomy. A refreshing and insightful look at what the economy is really for (or should be). The only downside is that it highlights quite how depressing, reductive and trapped our political economy discourse currently is.
