"Because pension funds all over the world are doing similar things–investing in companies that can deliver “market rate” returns–they end up pushing up the price of care for everyone, which effectively devalues the pension savings they’re able to provide to their beneficiaries."

"Even though the majority of beneficiaries want their pensions to be invested sustainably, so far we as an industry have had little to offer them. This is because solutions that deliver market rate returns and genuine sustainability don’t exist."

The United Nations-led Roadmap for Eradicating Poverty Beyond Growth launches on April 22 in a super-interesting conference: Turk, De Schutter, Stiglitz, Ha-Joon Chang, Hickel, Kallis....
If you are interested in #postgrowth, #degrowth, and growth-agnostic economics and are in a position to travel to Switzerland, you might want to consider it. I will definitely be attending.

Join us for the third iteration of the Post-growth HCI Workshop at ACM CHI 2026! 🐌

This year, we are transforming the classroom into a site of resistance and radical imagination by asking: how can we redesign computing pedagogy to prioritize sufficiency, repair, and collective care over relentless acceleration?

The call for participation is now open.

I can't believe I had missed this paper!

Earlier in 2025, the leading researchers on #postgrowth #economics (including Hickel, Jackson, Kallis, Raworth and Steinberger) ganged up to write a thoughtful review of post-growth research.

The field has grown robust, branching out on important side quests, such as "do we have enough resources to secure decent living standards for 10 billion people?"and "how can we sustain a welfare state without growth?"

New mission just dropped!

UNDP's Digital, AI and Innovation Hub has asked me to develop a portfolio for deep economic reform at the city level – we are calling it economic transformation. Our economies have lost their alignment with human wellbeing and planetary balance; cities and regions have been innovating around economic governance for decades.

In which economists from the “influential organisation” (the OECD) which since the late 1990s has been powerless to stop the long term slide in economic growth in its own countries, exchange bullshit perspectives with the UK’s hapless Chancellor of the Exchequer, and everyone pretends that the game board of the 1990s is still the one we are on.

Can we at least agree to *try* #degrowth instead of this BS #postgrowth FFS?

Book draft has gone to the publisher (Bristol University Press).

I sincerely wish that made it beer o'clock, but I need to collect the kids from school in a few minutes.
