Pullback podcast
June 2025
From the podcast website:
Our global economic system is premised on the idea that gross domestic product needs to constantly grow. But on a finite planet, is green growth possible? And is prosperity possible in a world without growth? Today’s guest is Tim Jackson, Professor of Sustainable Development at the University of Surrey and Director of the Centre for the Understanding of Sustainable Prosperity. Tim is a leading researcher on degrowth, and is the author of several books on the subject including Prosperity without Growth, Post Growth – Life After Capitalism, and his latest The Care Economy. Tim explains the problems with our need for constant growth—how it is not only incompatible with a sustainable future but is also bad for our wellbeing. He also shares what a post growth society premised on a care economy could look like.
