The picture I drew had a hole in the middle, like a doughnut — the aim is to leave nobody in that hole, short of life’s essentials like food, water, health, education, etc. But we need to do this without overshooting the outer ring of Earth’s limits. Returning to the textbooks I was taught, which are still taught today, I found these profoundly misguiding and not giving students the knowledge or orientation to turn things around. My book came out in 2017 and since then, many firms, governments, international institutions, etc., wanted to put these principles into practice. I co-founded the Doughnut Economics Action Lab to work with them.
