I went to a lecture by Tim Jackson last Saturday. Excellent stuff.

I re-read chapter two of the book. It really is an excellent summing-up of why we find ourselves in the current economic (and ecological) pickle.

I think you might be being unfair to LBIII, though.

I've just read this article about why there is such an organised crackdown on the Occupy movement and also watched Money as Debt again and it makes me increasingly angry at our government and the banking system.

We are, and I include the government in the we, in effect, bailing out our slave masters. Why the government cannot print the money it needs I don't know, unless they are in the pocket of the *anksters.

Words fail me at the moment

From the website, Biff

Since the release of Prosperity without Growth? the SDC has....

An updated and expanded version of the report has now been published as the book Prosperity Without Growth: Economics for a Finite Planet (Earthscan, 2009).

So the book has more in it than the online version.

Just ordered the book through www.abebooks.co.uk

Don't buy from Abe Books. Now owned by DODGY TAX AVOIDERS. Instead, keep the following links in your, errm book bookmarks:

Ethical Consumer wrote:For online books, Guardian Books, a partnership with book distributor Bertrams, works just as well as DODGY TAX AVOIDERS and appears to stock all in-print titles. It is owned by Smiths News which paid a very honest £10.2 million in tax in 2012 on a relatively modest profit of £32 million.10
Newsfromnowhere.org, a not-for-profit workers co-operative and radical bookshop, also sells online. www.hive.co.uk is an initiative combining online shopping with supporting local book stores. For second-hand books online, betterworldbooks.co.uk offers an interesting social enterprise model.

There's also Green Metropolis so, all in all, DODGY TAX AVOIDERS can get stuffed.
