My letter in today's @FT.
Taking the fact they ran #postgrowth letter at all, & at complete length I sent, as a positive sign of minds opening, at least a little

From #TriodosBank’s Economic Outlook 2024: “At the heart of [the] issue is a dependency on growth, which Triodos Bank believes needs to be reconsidered. This presents substantial implications for investors, but more crucially, for the future of humanity.” 💯 → triodos.com/en/press-release…

Dreams of #growth hitting the news again.
This paper by @ProfTimJackson (originally written for the UK's Ministry of Defence) is setting out why it's actually not that easy to come by anymore. → cusp.ac.uk/themes/aetw/wp12 cc #CPC23 #SecularStagnation #PostGrowth #ProsperityWithoutGrowth #BeyondGrowth #ToryPartyConference
Attempts to prop up an ailing capitalism have only increased inequality, hindered innovation and undermined social stability. Tackling the #GrowthDependency of the economy has become vital, as this paper for the UK's Ministry of Defence shows. → cusp.ac.uk/themes/aetw/wp12/ #degrowth

Neoliberal market logic has worked its way into the welfare policies of many countries, under pretence of improving efficiency and service quality. Quite the opposite is the case. → cusp.ac.uk/themes/aetw/wp26-… HT @CorletWalker @ProfTimJackson cc #CarelessFinance #PostGrowth

Today, we launch our Net Zero Policy Tracker, which warns that the UK is not on track to reach #netzero by 2050. It calls for a focus on policy delivery to address increased global competition. Read the report and reaction from our Chair @theresa_may 👇

Privatisation of public services is not working for the public good. Water is one example. Social care another one: private equity firms stack care home chains with huge levels of debt, strip them of their assets, thereby destabilising the whole sector. → cusp.ac.uk/themes/aetw/blog-…

There has been much discussion about the likely failure of Thames Water in the last day or so. I’ve been looking at the accounts of England’s water companies for the last twenty years. My conclusion is that they are all environmentally insolvent. So, a thread…..

"care is an anathema to capitalism. Its virtues are capitalism’s vices....To the mainstream economist, the time-intensive work of care translates as low or stagnant productivity that’s ‘holding us back’ from growth we are so obsessed with" @ProfTimJackson cusp.ac.uk/themes/aetw/tj-bl…

What kind of #innovation?
The government is fixated on "growing the economy" and generating profits, instead of social innovation to deliver health, and other goods, for people.
I reflected on this in a debate on NHS in the #HouseofLords
