”Jag betraktar Kate Raworth som det tjugoförsta århundradets John Maynard Keynes. Genom att ge ekonomin nya ramar gör hon det möjligt för oss att förändra vårt sätt att se på oss själva, vår belägenhet och vilka vi vill vara. Nu gäller det bara att omsätta hennes idéer i politik. Läs hennes bok och kräv sedan att makthavarna börjar arbeta mot dess mål: mänskligt välstånd i en välmående levande värld.” /George Monbiot, Guardian För att klara de gigantiska globala utmaningar vi står inför under det här århundradet när det gäller klimatet, miljön och resurserna måste vi förändra vårt sätt att tänka på det ekonomiska området. Politiska förändringar, teknologisk utveckling och ökad ekologisk medvetenhet krävs förstås också. Men ekonomin har en fullständigt avgörande betydelse i sammanhanget. Uppfattningen att tillväxt och ännu mer tillväxt är lösningen på alla problem riskerar att blockera all verklig förändring. I den här boken presenterar ekonomen Kate Raworth – med många år inom FN och Oxfam bakom sig – sju vägar till ett nytt ekonomiskt tänkande med mänsklighetens grundläggande livsvillkor i fokus. Raworths donutekonomi tar hänsyn till människors behov av social trygghet såväl som planetens behov av ett ekologiskt tak för mänsklig påverkan. Själva donutmodellen hjälper oss dessutom att visualisera vår belägenhet och våra möjligheter på ett klargörande vis. Raworth går igenom den konventionella nationalekonomins förutsättningar och begränsningar och visar hur man kan utveckla det ekonomiska tänkandet utan att offra det som nationalekonomin varit bra på. Men hon är också miljömässigt uppdaterad och bygger vidare på Johan Rockströms modell med nio planetära gränsvärden. Hennes bok ligger i miljödebattens absoluta framkant. Kate Raworth är nationalekonom och knuten till Oxforduniversitetets Environmental Change Institute och Cambridgeuniversitetets Cambridge Institute for Sustainabily Leadership. Hon har tidigare arbetat för Oxfam som ”senior researcher” och har även varit involverad i arbetet inom UNDP, FN:s utvecklingsprogram.

Brought to you by Penguin.Economics is broken. It has failed to predict, let alone prevent, financial crises that have shaken the foundations of our societies. Its outdated theories have permitted a world in which extreme poverty persists while the wealth of the super-rich grows year on year. And its blind spots have led to policies that are degrading the living world on a scale that threatens all of our futures.Can it be fixed? In Doughnut Economics, Oxford academic Kate Raworth identifies seven critical ways in which mainstream economics has led us astray, and sets out a roadmap for bringing humanity into a sweet spot that meets the needs of all within the means of the planet. En route, she deconstructs the character of ‘rational economic man’ and explains what really makes us tick. She reveals how an obsession with equilibrium has left economists helpless when facing the boom and bust of the real-world economy. She highlights the dangers of ignoring the role of energy and nature’s resources – and the far-reaching implications for economic growth when we take them into account. And in the process, she creates a new, cutting-edge economic model that is fit for the 21st century – one in which a doughnut-shaped compass points the way to human progress.Ambitious, radical and rigorously argued, Doughnut Economics promises to reframe and redraw the future of economics for a new generation.Includes a supplementary PDF of graphs and diagrams.The Sunday Times bestsellerLonglisted for the Financial Times & McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award 2017‘The John Maynard Keynes of the 21st century.’ George Monbiot, Guardian‘This is sharp, significant scholarship . . .
