"The government counts the costs of provision, but not the costs of non-provision.

Insufficient care drives many people into the arms of the NHS: at any one time, 13% of NHS beds are occupied by people waiting for social care support."

In The Care Economy, economist and writer @timjackson.org.uk exposes the violence behind growth-at-all-costs and calls for an economy that heals, not harms.

My thanks to all of them
This book is full of righteous fun. It's a compelling take-down of the dismal science and a rocking manifesto for care provision. It can help us reach for an equitable and sustainable economic system.

Care is the foundation for life itself. Yet in the market it’s treated as a second class citizen—barely recognised in the relentless rush for productivity+wealth. How did we arrive here? And what can we do to change things?

Much enjoyed the launch of @proftimjackson.bsky.social’s new book #TheCareEconomy. A refreshing and insightful look at what the economy is really for (or should be). The only downside is that it highlights quite how depressing, reductive and trapped our political economy discourse currently is.

Wonderful to see the German edition of #TheCareEconomy out today—released by a quirk of fate two weeks before the English edition—thanks to the amazing work of Laura Kohlrausch, @oekom.de, @boell.de and Linda Gessner.

Ohne #Gesundheit ist alles nichts – doch unsere #Wirtschaft konzentriert sich stattdessen auf einen ewigen Wettstreit um Produktivität und materiellen #Wohlstand.

Wie ist es dazu gekommen?

Und wie könnte eine Alternative aussehen?
