Reviews

‘This book will appeal to both technical economists and to general readers. It advances a compelling case for the abandonment of growth as a policy objective for rich countries, while acknowledging that more growth is still essential in poorer ones.’
*Peter C. Grosvenor, Environmental Politics*

‘Written in a crisp, clear, concise style, almost totally free of jargon, deeply grounded in data, and superbly referenced, the book is a must-read for those who want to form their own informed opinion about this subject, with or without economic education.’
*Halina Szejnwald Brown, Local Environment*

‘If you want to get into the nuts and bolts of postgrowth economics, then Managing Without Growth is the book for you.’
*Jeremy Williams, The Earthbound Report*
