Why it's time for 'Doughnut Economics'

Kate Raworth
TEDx, 2014
Level: beginner
Perspective: Other
Topic: Reflection of Economics
Format: Lecture / Presentation
Duration: 00:16:52

Kate Raworth gives a crash course in economics with a twist. Find out yourself what the diagram of households and firms does not show:

  1. The economy is embedded in the environment.
  2. Unpaid caring work is almost completely ignored by economics.
  3. A lot of value created is not monetarized or measured in GDP.
  4. For a lot of people, wages stagnate. Power is missing in the analysis.

The Harm Principle: How to live your life the way you want to
Philosopher and political economist John Stuart Mill laid several foundations for liberal thinking, amongst others with the harm principle: everyone should be given the individual freedom - and not be hindered by e.g. state intervention - to act as s/he wants as long as no other person is harmed by this action.
