“Not growing but thriving”: The Beginning of a Paradigm Shift

Kate Raworth, the author of Doughnut Economics, suggests we need to “create the conditions that enable prosperity to come about,” by which she means being able to “lead a life of dignity, community, and opportunity, while we hold the integrity of this delicately balanced living planet.” We are warned that it’s “too late to pin our hopes” on ‘green growth’, and so we must shift from a paradigm of control to one of stewardship, measuring life “on her terms” so that together we might serve life and thrive.
