Doughnut Economics "Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist "
Doughnut Economics
"I read this book with the excitement that the people of his day must have read John Maynard Keynes´s General Theory. It is brilliant, thrilling and revolutionary." (George Monbiot).
Economics is broken. It has failed to predict, let alone prevent, financial crises that have shaken the foundations of our societies. Its out-dated theories have permitted a world in which extreme poverty persists while the wealth of the super-rich grows year on year. And its blind spots have led to policies that are degrading the living world on a scale that threatens all of our futures. Can it be fixed?
In Doughnut Economics, Oxford academic Kate Raworth identifies seven critical ways in which mainstream economics has led us astray, and sets out a roadmap for bringing humanity into a sweet spot that meets the needs of all within the means of the planet.
En route, she deconstructs the character of "Rational economic man" and explains what really makes us tick. She reveals how an obsession with equilibrium has left economists helpless when facing the boom and bust of the real-world economy.
