Step beyond growth to a life after capitalism

If we buy the capitalist myth that everything is a struggle for existence, in which only the fittest survive, then we lock our vision of humanity down into this narrow cage, says Professor Tim Jackson, author of Post Growth – life after capitalism.

Professor Jackson wants to cut the shackles from the cage and open the door to a new world of relationships and priorities.

“It’s about finding the balance between having too little and too much; it’s about the balance between self and other; it’s about the balance between continually innovating and being bedded in tradition,” he said.
