Books:

On general degrowth/post-growth/wellbeing economics:

• Less is More, by Jason Hickel 

• The Divide, by Jason Hickel (about inequality)

• Prosperity without Growth, by Tim Jackson

• Doughnut Economics, by Kate Raworth

• The Economics of Arrival, by Katherine Trebeck and Jeremy Williams

 

On wellbeing/human needs:

• A Theory of Human Needs, by Len Doyal and Ian Gough

• Human Scale Development, by Manfred Max-Neef (he’s the one who talks about “negative” satisfiers)

• Development as Freedom, by Amartya Sen

 

Other:

• How to be an Anti-capitalist in the 21st Century, by Erik Olin Wright: he is a sociologist, and has a very interesting perspective on how to move beyond capitalism (including focusing on wellbeing and democracy). It’s quite accessible, not very academic.

 

Podcasts/videos:

• Reith Lectures, this series by Mark Carney (ex-governor of the Bank of England):
  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000py8t - really interesting perspective on the financial crisis and on how we’ve moved from market economies to market societies (even more interesting coming from a guy who used to run the central bank in the UK!)

• Ezra Klein: He has had as a guest Marianna Mazzucato, who has a really interesting perspective on value (economic value vs what we value as a society, and how those two things have become confused). He also interviewed Astra Taylor on democracy, which was fascinating.

• Kate Raworth TED talk: 
  https://www.ted.com/talks/kate_raworth_a_healthy_economy_should_be_designed_to_thrive_not_grow?language=en

 

Websites:

• https://www.exploring-economics.org/en/: a wonderful resource on all sorts of pluralist economic perspectives, very accessible.

• https://theconversation.com/uk: on this website many UK academics “translate” their research papers to a lay audience, so you can find summaries of all sorts of paper here, without the academic jargon. 

 

Interesting initiatives:

• Wellbeing economy alliance (WEAll)- network of citizens, academics, and governments interested in economics having the goal of prioritizing wellbeing within environmental limits:
  https://wellbeingeconomy.org/

• Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL)- lots of cool on-the-ground initiatives and experiments to live “within the doughnut”:
  https://doughnuteconomics.org/
