Does economic growth harm the planet? | @BBCSunday

Does economic growth harm the planet? | @BBCSundayMorningLive debate with @ProfTimJackson, @DazeAghaji and Andy Mayer from the Institute of Economic Affairs @ieauk.

The segment followed renewed international calls to move #beyondGDP as the primary measure of progress, including recent comments from @AntonioGuterres on the need to value environmental sustainability and human wellbeing alongside economic performance.

During the discussion, Tim highlighted the close correlation between rising GDP and increasing environmental pressures, pointing to escalating carbon emissions and the dramatic decline in global biodiversity since the 1970s. He argued that prosperity is better understood as collective health rather than endless expansion—reminding us that we never measure health using just one indicator, so why measure societal success that way?

"For the trouble with lying and deceiving is that their efficiency depends entirely upon a clear notion of the truth that the liar and deceiver wishes to hide. In this sense, truth, even if it does not prevail in public, possesses an ineradicable primacy over all falsehoods."—Hannah Arendt, 1969⁠

🎙️Corporate Bodies: Podcast series about the strange world of #work.⁠
⁠
Episode 5—The Heart | If the organisation is a body made up of real people, then where or who is its heart? What really is the work that needs to be done? How do we bring our whole selves to it? What is the leadership we need to address the challenges we face? ⁠

⁠
Kate and Mark went into this conversation with Farzana Khan from @healingjusticeldn thinking that they would be talking about the challenges of bringing your whole self to work as a leader. ⁠
⁠
What happened, though, was a deep and expansive conversation about the real work that needs to be done—and how part of that work is being able to be fully yourself—to be “right sized” and fully human. ⁠
⁠
Farzana shares how her work with #PoliticisedSomatics informs her practice and how Healing Justice London is a time-travelling organisation. ⁠
⁠
She shares some of her practices and together we ponder what it means to be able to thrive in the hardness of the work of systems change. ⁠

💡 In his editorial, CUSP co-director @ProfTimJackson reflects on the Centre’s 10th anniversary and the troubling shift in research funding away from #postgrowth inquiry. He argues that questioning growth remains vital in an era of climate crisis, inequality, and political instability.⁠

Public debt and the post-growth challenge⁠
⁠
New paper by Andrew Jackson and Tim Jackson examines how slower growth in advanced economies may force a choice between fiscal tightening and rising debt. It shows that more flexible approaches to monetary and fiscal policies can better support debt stability and long-term economic, social and environmental goals.⁠

📢 Prosperity in a Careless Age | CUSP Newsletter, June 2025⁠
⁠
It’s hard to remember a time when the concept of care was bandied about so freely on the one hand and thrown so carelessly to the wolves on the other. It’s this haunting paradox which sits at the heart of @ProfTimJackson’s new book on The Care Economy and gives an increasing urgency to CUSP's many recent engagements around care. ⁠
⁠
If you want to catch up on some of them, you’ll find links to a variety of events, lectures, podcasts and interviews in this edition of our newsletter. If you’d like to join the conversation yourself, then why not come and meet us at the Trafalgar Square branch of Waterstones at 7pm on 17th June, where Tim will be in conversation with Jen Morgan from The Health Foundation. ⁠
⁠
Also in this edition:⁠
⚫️ Groundbreaking research on social care, ecotherapy, and psychological flow⁠
⚫️ Contributions to marketing for sustainable lifestyles and rural planning futures⁠
⚫️ The #CorporateBodies podcast—exploring the anatomy of corporate power⁠
⁠
From philosophy to policy, we’re tracing the fault lines of a system in need of repair.⁠
