Bøger af Kate Raworth

Skånselsløse finanskriser. Ekstrem ulighed. Skamløst pres på miljøet. Vores økonomiske system dur ikke mere – men hvad sætter vi i stedet? I bestselleren Doughnut-økonomi giver Oxford-økonomen Kate Raworth sit bud på en økonomisk model for et bæredygtigt 21. århundrede. Kate Raworth identificerer, hvordan mainstream-økonomien har solgt os myten om ’det rationelle menneske’ – homo economicus – og den planetødelæggende idé om vækst for enhver pris. I stedet for de forældede økonomiske modeller, som økonomividenskaben stadig styrer efter, tilbyder Raworth os en alternativ vej til en fremtid, hvor både menneskets og planetens behov kan tilfredsstilles på en bæredygtig måde.

Economics is the mother tongue of public policy. It dominates our decision-making for the future, guides multi-billion-dollar investments, and shapes our responses to climate change, inequality, and other environmental and social challenges that define our times. Pity then, or more like disaster, that its fundamental ideas are centuries out of date yet are still taught in college courses worldwide and still used to address critical issues in government and business alike. That's why it is time, says renegade economist Kate Raworth, to revise our economic thinking for the 21st century. In Doughnut Economics, she sets out seven key ways to fundamentally reframe our understanding of what economics is and does. Along the way, she points out how we can break our addiction to growth; redesign money, finance, and business to be in service to people; and create economies that are regenerative and distributive by design. Named after the now-iconic "doughnut" image that Raworth first drew to depict a sweet spot of human prosperity (an image that appealed to the Occupy Movement, the United Nations, eco-activists, and business leaders alike), Doughnut Economics offers a radically new compass for guiding global development, government policy, and corporate strategy, and sets new standards for what economic success looks like. Raworth handpicks the best emergent ideas--from ecological, behavioral, feminist, and institutional economics to complexity thinking and Earth-systems science--to address this question: How can we turn economies that need to grow, whether or not they make us thrive, into economies that make us thrive, whether or not they grow? Simple, playful, and eloquent, Doughnut Economics offers game-changing analysis and inspiration for a new generation of economic thinkers. "This is sharp, significant scholarship . . . Thrilling."--Times Higher Education "Raworth's magnum opus . . . Fascinating."--Forbes "Doughnut Economics shows how to ensure dignity and prosperity for all people."--Huffington Post
