The Care Economy

Care is the foundation of organic life. But its fate in the economy is precarious and uncertain. In our hearts it’s honoured as an irreducible good. But in the market it’s treated as a second-class citizen – barely recognized in the relentless rush for productivity and wealth. How did we arrive in this dysfunctional place? And what can we do to change things? Renowned ecological economist Tim Jackson sets out to tackle these questions in a timely and deeply personal book. Irreverent, insightful and profoundly inquisitive, The Care Economy offers a bold and accessible manifesto for a healthier and more humane society.
