Pre-release book launch event
The Care Economy | Tim Jackson in conversation with Jen Morgan
17 June 2025, 7pm | Waterstones Trafalgar Square, London
An opportunity to hear from one of the UK’s most distinctive economic thinkers on the urgent task of rebuilding society around principles of care rather than conquest.
. . .
Waterstones Trafalgar Square will host an evening with CUSP co-director Prof Tim Jackson, in conversation with Jen Morgan of The Health Foundation, to mark the global release of his latest book, The Care Economy.
Tim’s new work is a sharply argued and deeply reflective manifesto for placing care at the centre of public life. Drawing connections between economic priorities, the undervaluing of care work, and the rising burden of chronic illness, The Care Economy challenges the prevailing logic of growth-driven policymaking.
This event will explore themes from the book, including the gender politics of care, the commodification of health, and the structural roots of social and ecological neglect. At a time of mounting geopolitical unrest and fragile public systems, Jackson argues for care as a political and moral imperative—not an afterthought.
