*Dr Sustainability’s Recommended Read*
My Recommended Read is ‘Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Thinks Like a 21st-Century Economist’ authored by Kate Raworth.
The book is an award-winning publication:
🎖The Sunday Times Bestseller
A Financial Times and Forbes Book of the Year
🎖 Longlisted for the FT/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award
The book is available through a number of outlets, aswell as more sustainable affordable formats such as Audible and Kindle….also if you search online, there’s easy access to a free copy too (…you didn’t hear that from me)
The Doughnut Economics redefines economics for a world in crisis. The Doughnut Economics framework has been created, offering a fresh perspective on a realistically balancing the needs of people with the limitations of our planet.
A criticism of the Doughnut Economics framework is that is it idealistic. However, given the complexity of the subject at hand, for an educator and practitioner, like myself, it neatly brings together complex fundamental and foundational concepts to build on and take action from….my university students enjoyed what it brought to table!
Book Chapters:
1️⃣ Change of goals from GDP to the Doughnut
2️⃣ The Big Picture
3️⃣ Nurture Human Nature
4️⃣ Get Savvy with Systems
5️⃣ Design to Distribute
6️⃣ Create to Regenerative
7️⃣ Be Agnostic about Growth
This book a must read for those looking for a comprehensive tour of the systems and mindset required for our survival, sustainably living within planetary boundaries.
Happy Reading Folks!
