Frederik Pfeiffer reviews Kate Raworth's "Doughnut Economics - Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st Century Economist" for the Czech Sociological Review.
"In this book Kate Raworth takes her own discipline to court. Her ruling: economics is severely flawed."
"Raworth presents evidence stretching from the time of the field’s emergence as a separate scientific discipline through to its failure to handle big challenges like the Great Recession and climate change."
"Raworth argues that it will be hard to replace the typical models of economics, as their simple graphics have become ingrained in our brains over the past seventy years"
