Kate Raworth: "The Superorganism V. The Doughnut"

<p dir="ltr">On this episode, Nate is joined by the creator of Doughnut Economics, Kate Raworth, to discuss alternative economies that measure more than just the material wealth created by a society. As we expand further past planetary boundaries, the gap between the standard of living of the materially wealthiest and poorest continues to grow. Increasingly, these shortfalls in both ecological and social well-being of the current economic system are becoming more recognized by the general populace.  Can we create systems that keep people from falling down the cracks, while also respecting the limits of our planetary home? Are there governments and businesses already aligning themselves to these principles and shifting to a different way of leading? Could moving towards a holistic system, such as Doughnut Economics, be enough to overcome the energy hungry growth of a global Superorganism?</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>About Kate Raworth:</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Kate Raworth describes herself as a renegade economist focused on making economics fit for 21st century realities.
