The book presents a transformative economic model that proposes a radical rethinking of our current financial systems. It challenges the traditional focus on GDP growth and advocates for a sustainable economy that operates within ecological limits and addresses social foundations. The author introduces the metaphor of a doughnut to illustrate the safe and just space for humanity, bounded by an outer ecological ceiling and an inner social foundation, beyond which lies unacceptable environmental degradation and human deprivation. The book calls for a shift away from the pursuit of endless growth, towards a more holistic, balanced, and equitable approach to economic development that prioritizes the well-being of people and the planet.
