Doughnut Economics

A : [[book]]

Written by : [[Kate Raworth]]

I like the book. Combines alternative economics, systems thinking, care, feminism, environmentalism, some socialist ideas.

I very much like the idea of a regenerative and distributive economy. Not sure if she'd describe it as such, but it comes across fairly [[ecosocialist]], with its dual concern for [[social equity]] and [[planetary boundaries]]. Though not explicitly anti-capitalist, it's anti neoliberal economics.

The Doughnut

I like how easily graspable as a visual rubric it is - don't let anyone go into the hole of the doughnut, i.e. have a baseline of equity for everyone, and don't go outside the outer edge - i.e. stay within planetary boundaries.

The bit in the middle, the doughnut, is a regenerative and distributive economy.
