Given the current state of the world, we need Doughnut Economics now more than ever."-L. Kate Raworth provides the antidote to neoliberal economics with her radical and ambitious vision of an economy in service to life. I believe that Doughnut Economics will change the world."-George Monbiot, author and columnist, The Guardian, "An admirable attempt to broaden the horizons of economic thinking."-Financial Times, Martin Wolf, "Best Books of 2017: Economics", "This is truly the book we've all been waiting for.
It is entirely accessible, even for people with no knowledge of the subject. Drawing on a deep well of learning, wisdom, and deep thinking, Kate Raworth has comprehensively reframed and redrawn economics. It is brilliant, thrilling, and revolutionary. "I read this book with the excitement that the people of his day must have read John Maynard Keynes's General Theory. Raworth handpicks the best emergent ideas-from ecological, behavioral, feminist, and institutional economics to complexity thinking and Earth-systems science-to address this question: How can we turn economies that need to grow, whether or not they make us thrive, into economies that make us thrive, whether or not they grow? Simple, playful, and eloquent, Doughnut Economics offers game-changing analysis and inspiration for a new generation of economic thinkers.
Named after the now-iconic "doughnut" image that Raworth first drew to depict a sweet spot of human prosperity (an image that appealed to the Occupy Movement, the United Nations, eco-activists, and business leaders alike), Doughnut Economics offers a radically new compass for guiding global development, government policy, and corporate strategy, and sets new standards for what economic success looks like. Along the way, she points out how we can break our addiction to growth redesign money, finance, and business to be in service to peop≤ and create economies that are regenerative and distributive by design. In Doughnut Economics, she sets out seven key ways to fundamentally reframe our understanding of what economics is and does.
That's why it is time, says renegade economist Kate Raworth, to revise our economic thinking for the 21st century. Pity then, or more like disaster, that its fundamental ideas are centuries out of date yet are still taught in college courses worldwide and still used to address critical issues in government and business alike. It dominates our decision-making for the future, guides multi-billion-dollar investments, and shapes our responses to climate change, inequality, and other environmental and social challenges that define our times.
