Description
This narration explores the central ideas of Doughnut Economics: an approach designed for the realities of the 21st century, where human well-being and planetary stability must be held together, not traded off against each other. It highlights why older economic stories—often centered on endless growth and GDP—can miss the real costs of inequality and environmental breakdown.
Across eight chapters, you’ll hear how the “Doughnut” frames a safe and just space for humanity, why we need a broader cast of economic players than standard textbook models allow, and how a healthier view of human nature can lead to better policy. The journey closes with hopeful, grounded ways to start thinking and acting differently, wherever you live.
