CK Futures Talk – An introduction to Doughnut Economics
Wed, 25 Jan 2023 19:30
CK Futures Talk – An introduction to Doughnut Economics
Join us in the Stanton Hall on Church Piece, next to Charlton Kings Library, for an introductory talk on economics featuring The Liminality's, Raechel Kelly.
Kate Raworth, the author and economist behind the award winning Doughnut Economics book of 2017, came up with the theory after becoming increasingly disillusioned with the state of economics and the core theories we have based our economic system upon.
Come along to this interactive event to learn more about the doughnut concept, explore the seven key ideas behind it and maybe question some of our long held assumptions about the current economic system.
What is GDP? Why the obsession with growth? Is there another way? How can we get into the sweet spot where both people and planet can thrive?
There might even be some actual doughnuts involved!
The talk will start at 7.30pm on Wednesday 25th January in the Stanton Hall (next to the Charlton Kings Library), Charlton Kings.
This is a free event hosted by CK Futures, a Charlton Kings Parish Council Initiative.
You can book this event Free via Eventbrite.
