Economist Kate Raworth argues that twentieth-century economic thinking is not fit for the challenges of the twenty-first century, such as inequality and climate change. She proposes the doughnut, a model with a social foundation that no one should fall below and an ecological ceiling we should not overshoot. Raworth sets out seven ways to rethink economics, from changing the goal of growth to designing economies that are distributive and regenerative.
