The father of non-growth ('steady-state') economics is Herman Daly, who wrote the classic "For the Common Good" with theologian John Cobb about 20 years ago. More recently Tim Jackson wrote "Prosperity without Growth" which is an excellent read for those who think that endless growth may not be the answer.<br /><br />Sorry if that's too much for non-economics geeks!<br /><br />Jason GarrettAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5581050.post-10371846696053155772012-09-04T12:12:47.753+01:002012-09-04T12:12:47.753+01:00"Everything that grows or has ever grown, sto..."Everything that grows or has ever grown, stops growing.
