Description
Doughnut Economics by Kate Raworth challenges conventional economic thinking and presents a refreshing framework for a sustainable future. Through her innovative approach, Raworth introduces the concept of the 'doughnut', a visual model that balances essential human needs with the planet's ecological boundaries.
The Story
Raworth embarks on a journey to rethink the principles of economics, guiding readers through a landscape where growth is not the ultimate goal. Instead, she advocates for a system that prioritises social justice and environmental sustainability. With engaging anecdotes and a blend of historical context and contemporary examples, she illustrates how economies can thrive within the 'safe and just space for humanity'.
Key Themes
- Redefining Success: The book critiques the obsession with GDP and proposes measures for prosperity that include well-being and ecological health.
- Interconnectedness: It highlights the importance of viewing economic systems as interconnected, not isolated entities.
- Inclusive Solutions: Raworth emphasises the need for inclusive solutions that address inequality and empower communities.
Why Readers Love It
Readers appreciate Raworth's ability to blend rigorous economic theory with accessible language, making complex ideas understandable to a broad audience. Her engaging writing style invites reflection and encourages dialogue about the future of economics.

- Those interested in economic theory and its implications for society.
