Could Doughnut Economics Fix What Growth Has Broken? With Kate Raworth
from Why is it Like That? · host Leyla Acaroglu
What if the economy wasn’t something we had to endlessly grow, but something we had to balance? In this episode, economist Kate Raworth challenges the way we’ve been taught to think about economic success and introduces the idea of Doughnut Economics, a model that focuses on meeting human needs while staying within the planet’s ecological limits. Kate explains why endless growth has become the misguided goal and how the economy affects everything from housing and inflation to inequality and environmental destruction.This conversation explores how cities, businesses, and individuals can rethink success, redesign systems, and build an economy that allows both people and the planet to thrive. From redefining progress to understanding sufficiency, sustainability, and systemic change, this episode offers a hopeful and practical look at how we can move from an economy focused on growth to one focused on balance, wellbeing, and long-term resilience.For more information, click here Kate’s WebsiteDoughnut Economic Action LabUnSchoolsLand recognition
