Who wants to be an economist? -- Change the goal: from GDP to the doughnut -- See the big picture: from self-contained market to embedded economy -- Nurture human nature: from rational economic man to social adaptable humans -- Get savvy with systems: from mechanical equilibrium to dynamic complexity -- Design to distribute: from "growth will even it up again" to distributive by design -- Create to regenerate: from "growth will clean it up again" to regenerative by design -- Be agnostic about growth: from growth addicted to growth agnostic -- We are all economists now.
Raworth sets out seven key ways to fundamentally reframe our understanding of what economics is and does. Along the way, she points out how we can break our addiction to growth; redesign money, finance, and business to be in service to people; and create economies that are regenerative and distributive by design. 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.
