Tim Jackson’s book The Care Economy has now been published in Catalan by Arcàdia.
From the publisher’s website:
Competition, material accumulation, the pursuit of abundance, economic expansion, social domination, military force, unlimited growth… all of these are factors that contribute to the social and ecological destruction caused by capitalism—a dysfunctional system that measures prosperity in terms of wealth, when in fact true prosperity must be understood in terms of health.
The care economy is the vision of an economy in which care (a reparative force) is the central principle around which society is organised. Achieving this depends on us, and it is not enough to implement specific policies and measures; what is needed is a deep cultural change and something more—something akin to the drive that led to the formation of the welfare state after the Second World War.
Tim Jackson’s book, conceived as a transformative journey, traverses all the domains that make life possible and provides us with the arguments and the strength to drive a radical shift of era for global wellbeing.
