Donut Economics
Description
Book Introduction
Income-led growth? Innovation-driven growth? Sustainable development? Inclusive growth? Green growth?

This is an era where 'balance' is the key, not greater wealth.
‘Balancing fairness and economic growth’ is a challenge for every country.
Establishing a reasonable compensation system among economic entities such as workers (households), businesses, and the government, and evenly distributing polarized wealth, thereby reducing the gap between the rich and the poor, and between rich and poor countries, and creating a world where everyone prospers together in a stable environment - this is what everyone hopes for.

Economist Kate Raworth says that we must sound the alarm about the arrogant sense of authority and irresponsibility of economists in a situation where the world has been exposed to the numerous errors in economics that have been blindly believed for the past 150 years.
Criticism is not the goal.
To overcome the crisis that no one can escape—the unexpected economic crisis, the extreme gap between the rich and the poor, and the relentless destruction of the environment—experts must step out of the classroom and roll up their sleeves. Therefore, we appeal to you to step out into the world and play a truly necessary role.

There is a line that must be kept to protect both humanity and the world.
The inner ring of the donut represents the social foundation, and falling into it would lead to serious deprivations of humanity, such as starvation and illiteracy.
Social basics are the basic elements of life that no one should lack.
These include food, water, sanitation, access to energy and cooking facilities, education and health services, housing, jobs, information networks and social support networks.
To achieve this, gender equality, social fairness, political voice, peace and justice must be protected.
The outer ring shows the ecological limits.

As humanity's context, purpose, and values ​​evolve, so too must the way we envision the economy.
It is time to boldly shift our thinking, reflecting on the situation we face, the values ​​we pursue, and our purpose.
Beyond the myth of "infinite growth," "Donut Economics" proposes a groundbreaking approach to improving our current situation, mired in the swamp of destruction and devastation, by finding a way to satisfy everyone without depleting the planet.
