_Prosperity without Growth

On Thursday I went to a great lecture at LSE by Tim Jackson, entitled Prosperity without Growth. Worth hearing - he speaks with clarity, optimism and creativity. Follow the link for the podcast of the lecture.

Speaker: Professor Tim Jackson

Chair: Dr Richard Perkins
This lecture will discuss a new vision of shared prosperity. It will consider the capability of human beings to flourish within the ecological limits of a finite planet. Tim Jackson is professor of sustainable development at the University of Surrey and economics commissioner on the UK Sustainable Development Commission.
