‘Prosperity without Growth in a Finite Planet’ by Tim Jackson

November 23, 2016 @ 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm

The Young Scholars Initiative (YSI) of the Institute for New Economic Thinking, the Greenwich Political Economy Research Centre (GPERC) of the University of Greenwich, and the Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS) would like to invite you to a talk by Professor Tim Jackson, on Wed 23 November 2016, 17:00 – 19:00 at the University of Greenwich, Queen Anne Court Room 080.

‘Is more economic growth the solution? Will it deliver prosperity and well-being for a global population projected to reach nine billion?’

Tim Jackson – a top sustainability adviser to the UK government – makes a compelling case against continued economic growth in developed nations. He provides a credible vision of how human society can flourish within the ecological limits of a finite planet. Fulfilling this vision is simply the most urgent task of our times.
