"An admirable attempt to broaden the horizons of economic
thinking."--Financial Times, Martin Wolf, "Best Books of 2017:
Economics"
"Can anyone seriously suppose that today's economic orthodoxies are
going to bring the world back from the brink of chaos? We need to
fundamentally rethink the way we create and distribute wealth, and
Kate Raworth's Doughnut Economics provides an inspiring primer as
to how we must now set about that challenge. I hope it ushers in a
period of intense debate about the kind of economy we now so
urgently need."--Jonathon Porritt, author of The World We Made;
founding director, Forum for the Future
"Economics rightly is under the microscope. Kate Raworth's
insightful Doughnut is what every budding economist should see when
they first peer down the lens." --John Fullerton, founder and
president, Capital Institute
"Raworth's magnum opus. . . . A fascinating reminder to business
leaders and economists alike to stand back at a distance to examine
our modern economics."--Forbes, "Best Business Books of 2017"

than ever."--L. Hunter Lovins, president and founder, Natural
Capitalism Solutions

service of a better world."--Tim Jackson, author of Prosperity
without Growth

energetic, layperson-friendly writing makes her concept accessible
as well as intriguing."--Publishers Weekly
"I read this book with the excitement that the people of his day
must have read John Maynard Keynes's General Theory. It is
brilliant, thrilling, and revolutionary. Drawing on a deep well of
learning, wisdom, and deep thinking, Kate Raworth has
comprehensively reframed and redrawn economics. It is entirely
accessible, even for people with no knowledge of the subject. I
believe that Doughnut Economics will change the world."--George
Monbiot, author; columnist at The Guardian
"Not long ago, well-known development economist Kate Raworth's
Doughnut graphic became an overnight sensation. Now this marvelous
book clearly and succinctly explains her re-envisioning of the
economy. On a bookshelf crowded with attempts to reframe economic
thinking and the way forward, this book stands
out--brilliantly."--Juliet Schor, author of Plentitude
