Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist

Authors: Kate Raworth Publisher: Cornerstone Edition: 1 Publish Year: 2018 ISBN: 9781847941398 Relentless financial crises. Extreme inequalities in wealth. Remorseless pressure on the environment system is broken. But can it be fixed? In Doughnut Economics, Oxford academic Kate Raworth identifies the seven critical ways in which mainstream economics has led us astray - from selling us the myth of 'rational economic man' to obsessing over growth at all costs - and offers instead an alternative roadmap for bringing humanity into a sweet spot that meets the needs of all within the means of the planet. Ambitious, radical and thoughtful, she offers a new, cutting-edge economic model fit for the challenges of the 21st century.
