Im convinced GDP is a very poor judgment of prosperity. At the very least it seems incomplete.

Whether the Earth is considered in the equation by humans or not, the current situation looks like the Earth knows how to force itself into the equation.

Laudable goals, but the problem is that our current monetary system needs endless growth since it creates new capital out of debt.

where can I find or see the full video, of the applied donut economy to those 150 countries ?

Love it, but in order to work on a global scale, we will have to make this a numbers thing too. Politicians currently work by turning dials and trying to optimize numbers. If we are to convince them that they need to use this, we need to show them numbers and show them how they're doing with those numbers. Otherwise, they won't actually put any of this to good use.

Doesn't look plausible. I say try it out in Denmark for 50 years and then we can decide. You can't really have a shorter testing period than that when you're talking about economy.

What an innovative and brilliant concept.
I am totally on-board with “The Doughnut”.

This is it! This is humanity´s future - now!

I don't know if this is even a type of economy or more of just policy decisions. The reasons that we really only have 3 types of economies (socialist, capitalist, and communist) is because each have a fundamental difference between businesses and ownership of property. I will try my best to simplify each one. Communist, nothing is privately owned, all being controlled by the government. Socialist, businesses publicly owned but individuals still own their own property. Lastly Capitalist, businesses and property are both individually owned. Almost all economies are a mixed economy, opting for social programs (k-12 schools, police, fire department, etc) but still have individual businesses. Capitalism does breed competition, but healthy competition is a good thing since it leads for further innovation because it provides an incentive. It will be interesting to see more places implement this to see how it would work in a larger scale.

The Doughnut economy is better designed but similar to the idea / theory of Cooperatism. Love them both !

[olgajeffay]

Amazing ideas! World has to unite and find the best solution for each country using doughnut economy) this would eliminate many existing problems.. "regenerating nations". Together we can do it very fast. We can build Creative society where everyone is valued and safe.

A key problem is some people eat a dozen donuts a day and some people have just some crumbs. We need to redistribute wealth and resources.

I could swear, I'm hearing a slowdown version of the instrumental for 'Love myself' by Hailee Steinfeld from 1:15-1:31

[benanders]

The fact that the great majority of the Dutch people never wanted this doesn't seem to matter to anyone. They have no choice. You will own nothing and be happy right?

Love it! The earth looks a bit like Mr T 6:19

So, straight away in its first example in Holland, that it is not a cyclic let alone regenerative economy, as they are using PV Solar Panels, which are an integral part of the linear growth economy. A truly cyclic/Regenerative economy would reuse, repurpose the things that have already been manufactured. Such as the many millions of motors from our chucked out appliances and devices, that are chucked out every year, that should be reused as Micro Wind/Hydro Generators for local homes etc. More extraction is not Sustainable! ✊🏽🌎

Actually GDP increases when extreme climate phenomenons increase, since you have to rebuild what is getting destroyed. So people aiming to increase GDP have no incentive at all to respect nature.
