The boys are back in town, after a well-earned Easter break, bringing your fresh ideas and even fresher takes to resist the crushing anxiety of a world gone mad. ___ FEATURE Academic, economist and humanitarian Kate Raworth sits down with Warren to discuss her paradigm-shifting book 'Doughnut Economics: 7 Ways To Think Like a 21st Century Economist". It's an incredibly accessible read packed with insight from both economic theory and real experiences working in the humanitarian sector. Warren digs up why Kate felt compelled to write the book, what the response since has been like, and what we can do to promote its ideas. You can find more out about Doughnut Economics, including some nifty animated shorts, at https://www.kateraworth.com/ Kate also tweets: https://twitter.com/KateRaworth She shouts out the awesome Rethinking Economics: http://www.rethinkeconomics.org/ And she name-checks a few of her inspirations: Janine Benyus - Biomimicry https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/432853.Biomimicry Donella Meadows - Thinking In Systems https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3828902-thinking-in-systems Marjorie Kelly - Owning Our Future https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13434598-owning-our-future ___ CENTRIST WATCH The gang discuss the funniest joke of the last fortnight - stirrings of a new centrist party.
