Can Donut Economics Change How We View Progress? - Kate Raworth, DSPod #252

Kate Raworth is an Economist best known for “donut economics,” a
model that attempts to map the balance between essential human
needs and planetary boundaries. She proposes that the last few
hundred years of economic theories were created with a
monomaniacal focus on growth that was only possible on a planet
with relatively untapped natural resources. After more than two
hundred years of industrial development, older economic theories
cannot be applied to the necessities of today. Namely, a
sustainable material economy for the generations yet to come. We
talk about what an economic system that provides for everyone’s
basic humans needs can look like, places that have started
putting donut economics to use, and how to balance personal
responsibility with survival in an unjust system. Check out more
