The growth paradox, sustainable development, and business strategy (2021, background): “In his book “Prosperity without Growth”, ecological economist Tim Jackson regards “reconciling our aspirations for the good life with the constraints of a finite planet” as the “biggest dilemma of our times” (Jackson, 2009, p. 3).”
The Rise of the Resilient Local Authority? (2012, background): “Such a ‘transformative’ approach to economic resilience for example, would require a shift to a new economic model which is locally-based, democratic, and which measures success in terms of well-being and happiness, not material possessions (Jackson 2009).”
11. Capitalism, Technology and a Green Global Golden Age: The Role of History in Helping to Shape the Future (2015, background): “3 For example: Jackson (2009); Latouche (2010) in labour productivity through the change in proportions of labour and capital do reflect process innovations, but the impact of radical product innovations can neither be expressed nor predicted.”
In search of lost time: the rise and fall of limits to growth in international sustainability policy (2015, neutral): “If some countries are dematerializing in relative terms (per unit of GDP) as of today, no symptoms of absolute dematerialization of the global economy are apparent (Krausmann et al. 2009; Jackson 2009; Naredo 2010; Lorek 2014).”
Sustainable de-growth: Mapping the context, criticisms and future prospects of an emergent paradigm (2010, background): “For instance in Jackson (2009), the level of productive benefit to society compared to the cost of degrading ecosystem services from further growth in throughput.”
The contradiction of the sustainable development goals: Growth versus ecology on a finite planet (2019, background): “…how high‐income countries can maintain and even improve their levels of human development while slowing their economic activity (e.g., Alier, 2009; Jackson, 2009; Kallis, 2011; Kallis, 2018; Victor, 2008), for example by redistributing existing income, investing in social services, shortening…”
The Role of In-Use Stocks in the Social Metabolism and in Climate Change Mitigation (2013, background): “criticized by several authors (Goossens et al., 2007; Jackson, 2009; UNDP, 2010).”
Desperately seeking niches: Grassroots innovations and niche development in the community currency field (2013, background): “The challenges of sustainable development are increasingly seen as demanding fundamental change and systemic transformation in socio-technical systems (Jackson, 2009; UKERC, 2009).”
Growing green money? Mapping community currencies for sustainable development (2013, background): “Critics of the conventional ecological modernisation approach to sustainable development propose an alternative vision of sustainable development, based upon a ‘new economics’ heterodox paradigm (Boyle and Simms, 2009; Daly, 1992; Ekins, 1986, 1993; Henderson, 1995; Jackson, 2009; Martínez-Alier et ”
The environmental state and the glass ceiling of transformation (2020, background): “This includes attempts to disarticulate the growth imperative and the legitimation imperative by offering visions of lifeworld-improvement that do not rely on material growth (Jackson 2009).”
The Consumption of a Finite Planet: Well-Being, Convergence, Divergence and the Nascent Green Economy (2013, background): “Now a priority is to redefine prosperity (McKibben 2007, Jackson 2009), and by substituting activities that improve social cohesion, happiness, mental and physical well-being, and memory creation for material consumption, the impact on natural capital and ecosystem services will be reduced whilst…”
Socially sustainable degrowth as a social–ecological transformation: repoliticizing sustainability (2015, background): “…that even if there is some evidence for relative decoupling—e.g. world GDP has risen faster than carbon dioxide emissions over the last 18 years (Jackson 2009)—absolute decoupling, i.e. absolute decline in resource use over time while the economy grows, is not occurring (Ayres et al. 2004;…”
Deliberating on low carbon development (2010, background): “In Prosperity without Growth, Jackson (2010) challenges the orthodox formula for achieving prosperity through economic growth.”
