In Doughnut economics by Kate Raworth, we see that markets are inefficient and growth is not the holy grail. It's time for a new economics model: the doughnut economics. Kate Raworth's plea for the 'doughnut economics' casts doubt on the credo of economic growth for sustainability: there are hard limits to what you can do to the planet. Kate Raworth's doughnut economics could change our future. Peter Maddock

![]() We recently asked Charles Jones, a founder of the predecessor of BSFG, if he could provide us with a list of reading he would recommend to others. A great reader and thinker about issues related to a sustainable future, Charles shared a list of books of interest read in 2021, thanking us for the opportunity to share this with others. "Because time is running out I would emphasize the first three. We need to begin a new narrative to get the possibility of massive social change into the public arena. That means the planning should begin now, maybe with a timeframe of about 10 years. Thanks for the opportunity, Charles" Some books of interest read in 2021: Charles Jones
