DOUGHNUT ECONOMICS – TURNING A RADICAL CONCEPT INTO POLICY AND PRACTICE / NOVEMBER 5 / KNEPP ESTATE, DIAL POST
Kate Raworth is a visionary economist whose 2017 book Doughnut Economics shook the world and shaped a new idea of economic ‘progress’. It focuses on the goal of meeting the needs of all people within the means of the living planet, drawing on ecological, feminist, complexity and institutional economic thought to do so. Highlighting both pioneering innovations in applying these concepts and the complex challenges arising from them, she will ask what wider transformations are needed to bring about truly regenerative and distributive economies for the future.
