I thought this was going to be a popular economics book, but it was more academic. Luckily, I have an economic background. If you have not at least take one economics class, you might have a hard time with this as it's all about challenging academic thinking on the subject. It's a well-written book (with some pictures) that calls for political, financial, and social institutions to change the way they think about prosperity and grow to consider sustainability, well being, and regenerative economics.

Every student of economics should read this, every politician and overall many people!
It is also easy and entertaining to read.
Sad that economics in 2015 still had not incorporated state of the art in education.

This was a great book and has made me super excited to start my program at IDS
Read it, slowly, and take in how economics has been misused and misunderstood for way too long. And find hope and solutions that will change how you look and the world. Form a study group and read and discuss each chapter, and hopefully together you’ll find ways to put your new knowledge into action and co create a world for tomorrow.
It’s a fairly easy read, even for non economists like myself. I loved how Raworth used the image of a play to recast our view of how things work and should be working in the future.

A thoughtful and thought-provoking book on the alternative economics, based not on endless growth that has already exceeded the natural boundaries of the planet, but one that is based on the ideas of regeneration and justice. We need the economy that enables us to thrive, whether or not it grows. A must read.
Inequality, poverty, environmental degradation, and instability seem like overwhelming and intractable problems. Could this all feel inevitable because our economy is designed by default to allow and even incentivize these conditions? Maybe if we thought differently and had different economic goals, we can address them and find the “sweet spot” where humanity and the environment can thrive. Economist Kate Raworth proposes the “Doughnut” as a way to design our economy in contrast to traditional economics.
I first heard about this book on a great Freakonomics Radio episode: “Is Economic Growth the Wrong Goal” (S.10, Ep, 35) which describes of the city of Amsterdam has implemented these Doughnut-type changes. I immediately bought this and loved it, as you can tell from all of the sticky note annotations! But it is a lot to process so I made slow progress. Then I heard Aimee McPhie Allebest mention Kate Raworth and her work on the Breaking Down Patriarchy podcast and was inspired to finally finish it.
Economics (as a social science) is a niche interest of mine. If you are educated or interested in economics, I would love to hear your thoughts on re-thinking the economy to make life better for all of us. Could Doughnut thinking help make life better for all of us?

It helped me to see some of the limitations in my very American way of thinking. In my opinion, the Nordic approach to governance feels like a natural continuation of the ideals and principles America was founded upon. We don’t have to stay stuck in 20th century thinking.

To była zaskakująco nudna książka jak na tak ciekawy i ważny temat. Biorąc pod uwagę, że wywołała pewien hype i w pewnym momencie było ją nawet trudno kupić (ja swoją pożyczyłem z biblioteki, na szczęście), co książkom Wydawnictwa Krytyki Politycznej nie zdarza się chyba często, tym bardziej jestem zaskoczony. Nie jest zła, ale i nie tak ciekawa czy przełomowa jakbym się spodziewał.
