This is an excellent contribution to a more comprehensive and more sustainable understanding of economic policy. While I agree with some of the other critiques that she occasionally undersells the existing diversity within the field, she does incorporate much of that diversity into the explanation of her model. By changing the questions we ask and the models we use, she tips the current understanding of economics on it’s head. She provides a hopeful projection of how the field can be redesigned to allow for a more realistic sustainable future, if only we can get others to break down their commitment to outdated models that haven’t held up as evidence has expanded over time.
The author's ideas are wonderful and logical and she provides small-scale examples to illustrate her points. But the cynic in me can't buy into the idea that somehow this much better economic system could possibly become the norm...at least not in my lifetime.
Refreshingly idealistic. This kind of thinking is what the world needs right now.
It was an interesting and important read. But as someone who never studied economics, it may have gotten too into the weeds of attacking the past approaches and too light in the changes the author wants to see in the world, for my needs, at least.
Some really interesting ideas and questions, especially regarding how everything is built around GDP and even questioning this is majorly frowned upon.
More importantly it's a book that features some heavy weight economical discussion but is written in a very accessible manner.

The book presents an innovative approach to an economic theory that seeks to balance growth and economic prosperity with environmental sustainability and social justice.
To date, economic theories have primarily tried to explain how things are connected and attempted to predict developments, including the impact of economic policy (usually with questionable results).
Raworth challenges the traditional economics and encourages readers to consider whether economics as a science should not aim to improve conditions for both the planet and its inhabitants.

I was familiar with many concepts Raworth talked about, but still I learned a lot. The book is well-written and can serve as an introduction to modern economics. I do not, however, recommend the audiobook — the book is so visual that by just listening, one misses out on the key images.
Doughnut Economics brings food for thought for everyone involved in business, policy or civil society. How to create an economy in which we can thrive, fully and long-term, not just as a species but as a planet. The author does not presume to have all the answers - not even close, but instead proposes various ideas and starting points to explore. I will take this book with me when wondering what I can do - in work and other areas of my life - to contribute to our society and this world as a whole.
