Roman Krznaric is a public philosopher who writes about the power of ideas to change society. His latest book is The Good Ancestor: How to Think Long Term in a Short Term World. His previous international bestsellers, including Empathy, The Wonderbox and Carpe Diem Regained, have been published in more than 20 languages.
Kate Raworth is a renegade economist focused on making economics fit for 21st century realities. She is the creator of the Doughnut of social and planetary boundaries and co-founder of Doughnut Economics Action Lab.
Together, they address the one core question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” with thoughts including:
That Doughnut Economics offers a model to “meet the needs of all people within the means of the Living Planet”.That “one of the ways that the world changes is through empathy”, which can overcome our social divides.That we need to be good ancestors and “step into the shoes of people in tomorrow's world as citizens of the future.”That recognizing and respecting boundaries is good for our own and the planet’s health, while also being a means to unleash our creativity.Resources
