I recently completed the PGG course and found it incredibly insightful. The sections on initiating conversations across diverse topics—from green growth to offsetting—were particularly valuable. The high-quality materials you provided enriched the learning experience and complemented the course content perfectly. Excellent work!

For anyone working in or with businesses, post-growth is the next big topic. The Post-Growth Guide artfully break down what this future economy would look like for the world of business. A must read for anyone frustrated with the current state of business sustainability, and ready for what comes next.

I wholly recommend this course.
What I really appreciate about this one is that it meets the student where many people interested in corporate sustainability are: Guided by good intentions, blinded by bad stories.
It starts with these familiar stories: decoupling is happening, green growth spurred by new technology will fix everything, etc. All 13 of them.
You will be disabused of these stories with accessible visuals and key statistics based on the latest credible data and studies (which. although all publicly available, but most people are unaware of).
From there, space opens up to explore a new paradigm: Aligning business with a strive for societal thriving within planetary boundaries.
The old toolkit may be gone, but the new one presented to you is much more comprehensive, actually effective, and surprisingly fun.

In the initial phases of engaging with the concept of Post-growth and Wellbeing Economy, Post Growth Guide encouraged us to use our voice and company as a platform for change. In essence PGG helped us see that what can seem radical and counter-intuitive in the present, may become reality in the future - but only if we believe, mobilise and act.

Working in sustainability daily can sometimes be frustrating due to the inherent limitations of the current endless-growth business mentality. The Post Growth Guide offers an eye-opening perspective, one that I believe will increasingly shape the foundation of future global development.

If you're tired of hyper-growth, VC-backed, hockey-stick storytelling when approaching your startup, these are they guys to follow. They're a pair of the first (and hopefully not the last) to help shine a light on the unsustainable ways of doing business, and give a alternative playbook with examples to boot. Highly recommended.

Gaya Herrington I agree that this guide from Marcus Feldthus and Mads Oscar Haumann is ground-breaking! It comprehensively applies Dana Meadows' Leverage Points -- all 12 of them! -- to the business context!
What I've shared with Marcus is that they could further build on this approach by adding the methodologies that have already been developed in direct lineage from Dana over the past 2+ decades by Mark W. McElroy, PhD (who chaired Dana's Sustainability Institute before and after her premature 2001 death) with the practice of Context-Based Sustainability (CBS), a conceptual framework for applying Dana's thinking around "limits" (ie thresholds) to the business context (as I noted to Marcus, the other thinkers they note upfront -- Rockstrom, Raworth, Hickel, etc... -- likewise work with sustainability thresholds at broader scales of application, not at the business scale -- CBS is unique in that sense). I have been a strong proponent of CBS ever since I first encountered it in the early oughts.
Much of what Marcus and Oscar do is intuitively similar to CBS, which is a great validation! I look forward to further development of their approaches. In the meanwhile, do check out their guide -- it offers a novel approach!

I am grateful that the Post Growth Guide is experimenting so bravely and that they're documenting their journey in such a clear and useful way. "Setting Limits to Growth" offers practical tools that can help entrepreneurs implement strong sustainability principles in their own businesses. Using a systemic lens, it shows entrepreneurs that by changing their own business, they can contribute to a larger transformation of the economy for sustainability. The honest, humble, and humorous tone throughout the book makes it a pleasure to read.
I look forward to seeing what the Post Growth Guide comes up with next!

Such a good 101 on post-growth, giving new insights but also linking very easily to current and relatable topics.

Post Growth Australia Podcast
I had the great pleasure on reading "Setting Limits To Growth: How to make better business decisions in the 21st century" for research before interviewing co-author Marcus Feldthus on the Post-Growth Australia podcast.
Reading this book is reading the work on two true pioneers and innovators. To date, most of the focus of Post-Growth has been in the realms of citizen action or legislative change. The private sector has often been overlooked or seen as a barrier to progress.
By reading this handbook, Marcus Feldthus and Oscar Haumann invite you to walk alongside them as they navigate, almost in real time, the challenges and rewards in perusing a business aligned with Post-Growth values. This isn't a book on 'how to do it' from someone whose been doing it for years, this is a book on 'how we are figuring this out together.' In this sense, this is another element which makes this handbook unique and pioneering.
It is a very easy read, even for those who, like me, studied economics but no business, so are quite new to this area. As such, it is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in Degrowth in pratice, whether you are inside or outside the business community.

Highly recommend to everyone wanting to learn about post growth. There is a need for a new startup narrative where success isn’t only measured in how much VC funding and how fast you’re gaining unicorn status. The Post Growth Guide and the many impressive case-stories, should be incorporated in business schools and programs curriculum. And also for intra-preneurs in the corporate environment.

Highly Recommended: "Setting Limits to Growth" by Marcus Feldthus and Oscar Haumann
In the compelling and insightful read, "Setting Limits to Growth," authors Marcus Feldthus and Oscar Haumann craft a narrative that is as engaging as it is instructive. This book, grounded in their real-life experiences and informed by the Leverage Point Framework developed by Donella Meadows, offers a comprehensive guide for businesses navigating the complexities of the 21st century.
One of the most striking chapters, and my personal favorite, focuses on the practical implementation of setting wage caps and product prices. It strikes a chord by showcasing the intricate balance between maintaining growth and adhering to sustainable practices. This chapter, among others, is not just a lesson in business management but a reflection on ethical entrepreneurship.
The book is particularly relevant for startups, small and medium-sized enterprises, and indeed any organization looking to understand the intricate balance between growth and sustainability. It is a must-read for those who wish to make decisions aligned with the latest scientific insights on ecological limits while navigating the realities of economic systems.
In my professional role, I have found the principles outlined in this guide invaluable. The emphasis on systems thinking has significantly improved my decision-making processes, fostering a more holistic and sustainable approach to business development. The practical tools, like the Steady State Forecaster and the Impact Calculator, have been particularly beneficial in planning and evaluating the long-term impact of business decisions.
For anyone on the brink of purchasing this book, know that it is not merely a read; it is an investment in a sustainable future for your business. Feldthus and Haumann do not just preach about a post-growth economy; they guide you through creating one, offering a clear pathway punctuated by real examples, practical tools, and thought-provoking insights.
In essence, "Setting Limits to Growth" is more than a book; it's a blueprint for the future of ethical and sustainable business practices. I cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone interested in making their business not just survive but thrive in harmony with our planet's boundaries.

The Post Growth Guide just launched its book on Setting Limits to Growth!
I had the both honour and pleasure to read it before it was published, and I simply can't recommend it enough. The book does a fantastic job balancing academic rigour and practice-oriented examples, making it accessible and relevant at the same time.
It makes excellent teaching material that will provide students with much-needed insights into how alternative, more sustainable entrepreneurship fit for the 21st century is possible, and foster their systems thinking capabilities.
Check out the Post Growth Guides website, their resources and consider joining a rapidly growing group of academics and practitioners that recognise our planetary limits to growth and the need to step-up our efforts.

It was hugely inspiring and energising to gather with a big group of like-minded fellow Post Growth travelers from all specialisms and many countries. It's so important to social movements to have clear but inviting community leadership, and Marcus and Oscar have done a great job in providing it. I look forward to many more.
It was great to hear the cases and activity vectors of leaders like PGG and Melanie Rieback. For me the standout resource discovery from the meetup was Erin Remblance's Substack which is a trove of detailed, inspiring cases where degrowth and post growth is being lived today.
