Post-growth: The science of wellbeing within planetary boundaries
Degrowth can work — here’s how science can help
Confronting inequality in the “new normal”: Hyper‐capitalism, proto‐socialism, and post‐pandemic recovery
Post‐pandemic recovery must address the systemic inequality that has been revealed by the coronavirus crisis. The roots of this inequality predate the pandemic and even the global financial crisis. They lie rather in the uneasy relationship between labor and capital under conditions of declining economic growth, such as those who have prevailed in advanced economies for almost half a century. This paper explores the dynamics of that relationship …
The Transition to a Sustainable Prosperity-A Stock-Flow-Consistent Ecological Macroeconomic Model for Canada
This paper presents a stock-flow consistent (SFC) macroeconomic simulation model for Canada. We use the model to generate three very different stories about the future of the Canadian economy, covering the half century from 2017 to 2067: a Base Case Scenario in which current trends and relationships are projected into the future, a Carbon Reduction Scenario in which measures are introduced specifically designed to reduce Canada's carbon emissions…

The Energy-emissions Trap
Casting a long shadow: Demand-based accounting of Canada's greenhouse gas emissions responsibility
Does slow growth lead to rising inequality? Some theoretical reflections and numerical simulations
The Kenneth E. Boulding Memorial Award 2014
Does credit create a ‘growth imperative’? A quasi-stationary economy with interest-bearing debt
A Commentary on Unep's Green Economy Scenarios
Growth, degrowth and climate change: A scenario analysis
Canada, Britain and the drive to restore economic growth
The 'sub-prime' meltdown has accelerated critiques of the economic modelling that underpinned the activities of banking and allied industries. Coincidentally, there has been resurgence in interest in more socialised interpretations of economic life. In this article we seek to show how it may still be possible to marry formal economic modelling with these more socialised concerns. We argue that, at a time when many economists are anticipating slow…
Productivity and work in the ‘green economy
Questioning economic growth
Scale, Composition, and Technology
Scale (gross domestic product), composition (goods and services), and technology (impacts per unit of goods and services) in combination are the proximate determinants in an economy of the resources used, wastes generated, and land transformed. In this article, we examine relationships among these determinants to understand better the contribution that changes in each have made in the past, and might in the future, to reduce the burden placed on …
Managing Without Growth: Slower by Design, Not Disaster
Peter Victor challenges the priority that rich countries continue to give to economic growth as an over-arching objective of economic policy. The challenge is based on a critical analysis of the literature on environmental and resource limits to growth, on the disconnect between higher incomes and happiness, and on the failure of economic growth to meet other key economic, social and environmental policy objectives. Shortly after World War II, ec…
Scarcity and growth revisited, natural resources and the environment in the new millennium
Managing without growth
Indicators of sustainable development: Some lessons from capital theory
Pollution: Economy and Environment
This study, originally published in 1972, examines the connections between human society and the rest of the universe that are attributable to economic activity. These include the inputs from the environment to industry, such as oxygen, used in the combustion of mineral fuels. Also included are the industrial outputs which are fed back into the environment in the form of waste products. An attempt will be made to establish functional relations be…
