Kate Raworth: Renegade Economist
"Kate Raworth is an economist. A renegade, maverick, rockstar economist.
After graduating from Oxford University, she worked in the villages of
Zanzibar with micro entrepreneurs, co-authored the Human Development
Report for the UNDP and worked for a decade as a Senior Researcher at
Oxfam. In 2017 she published her seminal work, Doughnut Economics: Seven
Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist. In it she highlights how
traditional economics has not only failed to predict or prevent
recurring financial crises, it has allowed for worsening environmental
degradation and increased social inequality. Old economic models created
tools, language, norms, diagrams and mythologies that continue to grip
our societies, preventing meaningful social and environmental progress."
