DESCRIPTION:Doughnut Economics Reading Group:\nCreating a world with neither human 
 suffering nor planetary peril\nDoughnut Economics: 7 ways to think like a 
 21st century economist\n\nBy Kate Raworth Chelsea Green Publishing 
 (2017)\n\nThe capitalist economic system defines every aspect of our lives: 
 the schooling and medical care we get, where we live, and how we sustain 
 ourselves. The system works for a lucky few and exploits everyone else. And 
 it’s a real threat to the survival of our species (and many others) on 
 this planet.\n\nWe know the system needs to change—but we can’t change 
 what we don’t understand. We have to know what we’re talking 
 about.\n\nKate Raworth’s Doughnut Economics lays out traditional 
 economic theory—still taught as gospel at all the major temples of 
 capitalism—with clarity, authority, lots of graphics, and quite a bit of 
 humor. She exposes the flawed models and persistent myths that keep the 
 system in place. Even more importantly, she presents seven big, basic ideas 
 with which to begin creating the world we want to see. We can indeed build 
 an economy in the “doughnut”—meeting the needs of all while 
 maintaining the biospheres that support us.\n\nAll of us need to read this 
 book. We’ve all grown up in this deeply unfair and absurd system; seeing 
 it clearly and getting free of it require a group effort.\n\nSo we at 
 Strike Debt Bay Area are sponsoring a group discussion of Doughnut 
 Economics. We’re doing one meeting a month on the 2nd Saturday; we’ll 
 usually do about one chapter per meeting. Please join us!\n\n\n4:30 – 
 6:00pm, Saturday, April 13th.\nOmni Commons, 4799 Shattuck Avenue, 
 Oakland\n\n\n7th meeting:\n\n4:30 – 6:00pm, Saturday, May 11th.\nOmni 
 Commons, 4799 Shattuck Avenue, Oakland\n\nWe'll be discussing the 7th 
 chapter and the concluding chapters, and discussion possible futures for 
 the group.\n\nBring the book (available at your favorite online bookseller 
 and in select local bookstores) and/or your thoughts on the topic (The 
 first and possibly subsequent chapters are available online 
 – http://tinyurl.com/ycysqtde ‘Look Inside’).\n\nThe book is an 
 easy read (but full of ideas!) so it’s easy to catch up.\n\nAuthor
