Bio

I'm a renegade economist, determined to be part of rewriting economics so it is fit for the 21st century. I'm author of Doughnut Economics: seven ways to think like a 21st century economist, and co-founder of Doughnut Economics Action Lab where we are turning these radical ideas into transformative action. I teach at Oxford University's Environmental Change Institute and am Professor of Practice at Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences.

I'm passionate about

Creating an economic system that is compatible with conditions conducive to life.

An idea worth spreading

21st century economics will be practised first and theorised later.

Areas of expertise

doughnuts, open design, thriving within planetary boundaries

Things you might not know

Singing jazz (scratch band, anyone?) and riding a triple tandem.
