In her representative book Doughnut Economics, Kate Raworth asserts that the existing economic system exclusively focuses on development and has resulted in widespread social inequity. Doughnut Economics, a new economic paradigm, suggests new directions for international development, government strategies, and entrepreneurial strategies. The doughnut to which Raworth refers is the proposal for a system that satisfies the necessities of human lives without imposing any bad influences on the environment. The doughnut consists of an ecological ceiling and a social ground. According to Raworth, we need to stay within a realm of security and justice, a realm that does not go over the border of the ecological ceiling. Doughnut economics establishes the foundation for a fair and sustainable future, and Raworth emphasizes that we need to discuss specific methods to reach the goal together.
