Doughnut Economics: Rethinking Sustainable Economics

Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist by Kate Raworth challenges traditional economic models and proposes a new framework for sustainable development. The "doughnut" represents a balanced approach to economic progress: the inner ring ensures no one falls below a social foundation of basic human needs, while the outer ring prevents exceeding ecological limits.

Raworth critiques growth-focused economics and advocates for systems that prioritize well-being, equity, and environmental sustainability. She introduces seven key shifts in thinking, including moving from GDP obsession to thriving economies, designing regenerative systems, and embracing complexity.

Practical and visionary, Doughnut Economics provides a roadmap for addressing the interconnected crises of inequality and climate change. It inspires readers to rethink economics and work toward a future that supports both people and the planet.
