""The Care Economy is a well-timed warning about the dire consequences of prioritising wealth over health and sacrificing happiness for growth. Jackson takes his reader on a fascinating journey, peppered with entertaining characters and colourful stories. But his message is deeply serious – as persuasive as it is challenging. A ‘must read’ for anyone who cares about the future. A book that could change the world."" Dr Michael Dixon CVO, OBE, FRCP (hon), FRCGP, Chair of the College of Medicine ""The Care Economy is a profoundly insightful and personal book with a powerful message: a new economics guided by care for people and planet is urgently needed. I applaud Tim Jackson and this manifesto for a healthy and sustainable world."" Riane Eisler, author of The Chalice and the Blade and The Real Wealth of Nations
