Doughnut Economics is a new, groundbreaking model that lets us see how we can embrace the needs of all within the means of a living, thriving planet.  Rob Shorter, Communities Lead, of the Doughnut Economics Action Lab explains what it is, how it works and how we can embrace it at all levels in our communities of people and place and purpose.

The imagination needs mental and emotional space to enable us to create a vision of the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible. Rob Shorter wrote his dissertation at Schumacher on how we cultivate our imagination and change the cultural narrative towards the thinking that Doughnut Economics embodies.
In this podcast, we dive deep into the nature of imagination and how we can let it grow.  We explore Doughnut Economics and how the model can transform our world. And we look at the work of the lab and how we might all be involved.   Most of all, we explore how each of us as individuals can be part of the change we need to see in the world.

and Rob shares a song.  Listen just for that...
