\u201cAnyone who believes that exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist.\u201d Kenneth Boulding, 1973<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Or maybe an investor.<\/p>\n

Why do we invest money? A simple question with an apparently simple answer \u2013 so the money makes us more money.<\/p>\n

And how do investments do that?<\/p>\n

Essentially by growing in value year after year.<\/p>\n

In the short term that continues to be possible. But in the medium term \u2013 not so much – as the impacts on the environment of continued growth make living on earth increasingly difficult.<\/p>\n

For the first time ever in human history we are going to have to voluntarily<\/u> curb growth. So, will there be investment in this \u201cnew economy\u201d? And if so what will it look like?<\/p>\n

Some people are peering ahead and at least asking important questions \u2013 economists like Tim Jackson<\/a> and Kate Raworth<\/a>, journalist\/activist Naomi Klein<\/a>, environmentalist Paul Hawken<\/a>, economic anthropologist Jason Hickel<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

Those questions are not just about money, investment and the economy. They are questions about what it means to be human, about true prosperity and if it\u2019s even possible to adapt or replace capitalism if we are inherently selfish.<\/p>\n

So, for those of you without the time or inclination to read their books I\u2019ll share over a series of posts some of the questions and issues they are raising.<\/p>\n

I hope you\u2019ll find as I have, that confronting these issues gives you a bit more confidence and direction as we start to build this new world for our children and their children.<\/p>\n

Prosperity Without Growth<\/a> Tim Jackson<\/p>\n

Doughnut Economics<\/a> Kate Raworth<\/p>\n

This Changes Everything<\/a> Naomi Klein<\/p>\n
