Kate Raworth is an academic, historian and humanitarian who has become something of an economics superstar in the past couple of years. Her arguments begin with a simple point: the economic systems that dominate global political thought have not only lead to vast inequality in the world, but are wholly unable to mitigate or prevent the overwhelming threat of climate change. What we need is a new way of thinking about 'economics', not simply as supply & demand and everything that happens inside the market, but as a way of managing incentives for the good of society and the planet. It is Raworth's belief that many of our problems stem from the narrow understanding we have of 'economics'. We won't be able to think of solutions for complex problems until we look beyond the limited models of humanity that classical economics has given us.
