Kate Raworth: Doughnut Economics (2017, Random House Business Books) 4 stars

Review of 'Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist [Jul 25, 2017] Raworth, Kate' on Goodreads

4 stars

Easy reading critique of economics field and policy for what it needlessly simplifies and ignores in 19thC pursuit of hard science appearance vs a view that it can tell more broadly useful stories to organize our society and economy. Seven pictures tell the new story she synthesizes about supporting social and human needs without blowing past ecological limits (living within the donut of the title), but boils down to giving up on Growth (certainly of GDP, maybe more broadly) as the only economic goal.
