Prosperity Without Growth - Tim Jackson

Great presentation, and fantastic work to have the video up so quickly. What I wanted to ask Tim was what he makes of the current resources tax debate. One of the key government defences is that it will ultimately be good for the industry and lead to expansion. Yet nowhere in the debate is there any accounting for the climate, environmental or human health cost of the mining industry, which will only worsen with any expansion - especially in the absence of an effective ETS or strong carbon tax. I support the resources tax, and would do so even more so if it served to put a brake on damaging and excessive mineral extraction. What says Tim?

at last someone who is coming to the table with fresh ideas about positive steps we can take towards solving our planet's challenges. PWG should be required reading for everyone in business and policymaking positions... thank you Tim.

the simplest ideas are often the most powerful:
'How Can We Redefine PROSPERITY to Serve Mankind?'
Brilliant.

crap - unlikely ever to get policy buy-in by a party system where votes equal power.
