According to Raworth, the economy\u2019s purpose is to promote human prosperity and happiness. This means 1) a just and equitable society where everyone has the material resources to pursue their highest dreams, but also 2) a sustainable biosphere that enables the engine of the economy to produce the necessary means for human prosperity but does not deplete vital natural resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the book\u2019s central metaphor, <strong>Raworth reimagines the priorities of economic policy as a ring-shaped doughnut<\/strong>. The inner circle represents the zone of deprivation\u2014an economy that does not produce enough of the necessary goods and services to sustain the population with adequate levels of food, shelter, health care, and other essential needs. The outer circle represents the limits of economic growth beyond which the economy begins to outstrip the planet\u2019s natural resources, leading to devastating consequences like global warming and ocean acidification, which threaten life on Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She writes that the economy must therefore stay within the bounds of the two circles, within the \u201cdough\u201d of the doughnut\u2014growing enough to meet the full spectrum of human needs, but not so much that it outstrips the planet\u2019s ability to provide the resources that make human civilization possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong><em>Doughnut Economics<\/em><\/strong>: <strong>Criticisms and Praise<\/strong><br><br>Contemporary reviews of <em>Doughnut Economics<\/em> praised Raworth <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2017\/jun\/08\/doughnut-economics-by-kate-raworth-review\">for treating environmental issues as fundamental to the social science of economics<\/a>. In its review of the book, published in 2017, <em>The Guardian<\/em> noted that for far too long, the economics field has treated the environmental challenges of growth, like pollution and deforestation, as beyond its concern or scope of study. Even the language used by economists to describe these negative impacts\u2014\u201cexternalities\u201d\u2014implies a detachment from the real-world effects of unrestrained growth. The reviewer credited Raworth for putting the planet\u2019s ecological boundaries and limits squarely back in the center of the economics discussion.&nbsp;<br><br>However, the same review noted that Raworth tended to glibly dismiss the political and ethical challenges of how to bring about a massive redistribution of economic resources without resorting to force or the wholesale destruction of capital. <em>The Guardian<\/em> noted that Raworth seems to (naively, in their view) believe that simply using the right language and rhetorical framing will persuade powerful entrenched interests, governments, and billions of ordinary consumers to change their ways and move toward a more redistributive, sustainable, and communal form of economic organization.<br><br>A review of the book for the London School of Economics praised Raworth\u2019s clear way of explaining <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/basic-economic-principles\/\">basic economic principles<\/a> to newcomers, but faulted her for <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.lse.ac.uk\/lsereviewofbooks\/2018\/05\/21\/book-review-doughnut-economics-seven-ways-to-think-like-a-21st-century-economist-by-kate-raworth\/\">relying too much on flowery metaphors<\/a> (like the central \u201cdoughnut\u201d metaphor) that present an idealistic vision, while offering little in the way of practical policy advice for how to bring that vision to life.&nbsp;<br><br>But perhaps the most notable reaction to the book\u2019s ideas has been by the city of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. There, in April 2020, <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/5930093\/amsterdam-doughnut-economics\/\">the municipal government officially declared \u201cdoughnut economics\u201d as the city\u2019s guiding economic policy<\/a>, with the stated goal of bringing all the city\u2019s residents into the inner ring of Raworth\u2019s doughnut. Raworth herself has played a leading role in the Amsterdam project through her organization, the Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL). She has helped city officials design policies related to sustainable infrastructure, citywide job-creation programs, and reforms to city contracting practices. Other cities and regions have considered emulating Raworth and Amsterdam\u2019s doughnut model, including Copenhagen, Denmark; Brussels, Belgium; Dunedin, New Zealand; Nanaimo, Canada; and, in the US, Portland, Oregon and Austin, Texas.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Kate Raworth&#8217;s Doughnut Economics worth reading?
