Maren Urner and Felix Austen were guest authors. Maxton is also the author of the German best-seller Change! Warum wir eine radikale Wende brauchen (Komlett-Media 2018). The book examines the link between the economic system and climate change. As well as German, the book has been published in Slovak and English.

The book has been translated into Chinese,[1] Czech , Romanian and German (Die Wachstumslüge), where it became a Spiegel top-20 [2] best seller.

Maxton's books on the automotive industry, co-written with Dr John Wormald, include Time for a Model Change, which was Cambridge University Press's Feature Book of the Year in 2004 and Driving Over a Cliff, (Addison Wesley Longman, 1995), also nominated for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award.
