Good discussion on the massive shortcomings of GDP as a metric for the prosperity of a country.

Also discussion with Kate Raworth on how Doughnut Economics has become quite big lately, and she has started a [[Doughnut Economics Action Lab]].

And they speak to Rokhsana Fiaz about what is happening in Newham in London, which sounds pretty rad - [[Community wealth building]], [[Citizens' assembly]], and [[Participatory budgeting]].
