I did not quite get it. Anybody familiar with this work?

No, but when I get the time I'll check out the author's blog.

Still fuzzy

This kind of myth busting exercise is precisely what’s needed to help take the sustainability debate to a more constructive level. By cutting through vague notions and blind faith in technology, Jackson leaves little room for economists and policy makers to continue side-stepping the monumental problem of resource depletion in an economy programmed to grow endlessly.

We had a one-post member here with a copypasta post about the same thing - can't remember his name or whether he got banned as a spammer or just ridiculed - I suspect the latter!

Sounds like the sort of gormless shit Fact-Man spouts.

Well you can download Prosperity Without Growth for free as a .pdf report from the now defunct Sustainable Development Commission here. I'm not sure how different the report is to the book - it seems to have half the number of pages, but I imagine more statistics and graphs. I've started reading it twice but not yet got around to reading it through.
