Dewey: 330 23 Alternative call numbers: 340.8 vsiso Subject: Economics. It promises that the economic future will be fascinating, but wildly unlike the past, if we equip ourselves with the mindset needed to take it on. Doughnut Economics hand-picks the best emergent ideas ranging from ecological, feminist, behavioural, and institutional economics to complexity thinking, systems dynamics, and Earth-systems science to reveal the insights of eclectic economic rethinkers. Instead of criticising the past, this book takes the long view forwards, identifying seven insights to help the twenty-first-century economist bring humanity into the global sweet spot (shaped like a doughnut) that combines human prosperity with ecological sustainability. Pity then or more like disaster that its fundamental ideas are centuries out of date, but still dominate decision-making for the future. Its theories are the mother tongue of public policy, the rationale for multi-billion-dollar investments, and the tools we use to tackle global poverty and manage our planetary home. ![]() ![]() ![]() One of the companies to respond was Reposed. To say I was inundated is an understatement. I put a call out on Twitter for recommendations of book subscriptions. ![]() Want a way to help an independent business and by a beautiful gift? Then may be this post is for you. So I was struck by the idea of compiling a list of the book subscription services and book boxes available, which may be even more timely given the shops are currently closed. Reading is a very personal hobby, each person has their own taste, so for someone else to look, to think, based on their tastes, they’ll love this, is quite something. As someone who rarely has books bought for her (by her yes, many but that’s a different story), when I received books for my birthday last year, what struck me the most was the thought that has gone into choosing a book for someone else. What could be a better treat for someone, or you, than a book sent every month, each one a surprise and accompanied by extra little thoughtful gifts such as cosmetics or chocolate. There are many book subscription boxes available. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The youngest of three children of the Miller family.
