Donut Economics Circus with Kate Raworth
Donut Economics Circus presents Kate Raworth and her latest alternative economics performance, Battle for the Biosphere: Nature vs Finance.
---
We are immersed in an era of great destruction to the living world, much of it fuelled by profound tensions between the intrinsic designs of nature and finance.
Nature is cyclical, relational, and regenerative. Finance, as we know it, is linear, extractive, and accumulative. If we want to get into the Donut - to meet the needs of all people within the means of the living planet - what does this design clash mean? Will finance inevitably eat the Earth, or can it be redesigned at root to be in service to life itself?
Donut Economics Circus sets out the concepts at stake and invites the audience to join in the show, so together we find ways to turn this challenge around. Come to the circus ready to debate, juggle, listen and laugh. Enjoy performances exploring alternative economic models like green growth, de-growth, re-growth, and post-growth.
