Most political and economic thinking today is built on one assumption – that economies will keep growing forever.

But what happens when growth stops?

In Beyond Growth, we face the unavoidable reality: nature’s limits will slow, then reverse, into economic contraction.

The economy will shrink.

This shift will affect every aspect of life – jobs, housing, healthcare, food production, and community organisation.

This concise and thought-provoking piece explains:

• Why growth cannot continue indefinitely – and the evidence all around us.
• What a shrinking economy means for government, business, and ordinary people.
• How localism – shifting power and resources to communities – offers a stable and humane way forward.
• The transition from formal to informal systems, and why it is already underway.

Beyond Growth isn’t just a warning – it’s a blueprint for adapting, surviving, and thriving in a post-growth world. Written in clear, accessible language, it is aimed at policymakers, community leaders, activists, and anyone concerned about the future.
