Your Soul Food for Friday 11/22/24: “What if economics didn’t start with money but with human wellbeing”?

Happy Soul Food Friday!

This week:

“See the Change You Want to Be in the World

Be the Change You Want to See in the World”

How Do We Measure Success?

“What if economics didn’t start with money but with human wellbeing”?

Did you know that even the creators of GDP (Gross Domestic Product) felt it was an inadequate measure as it does not count intangible upsides like Taylor Swift’s IP or the value of Childcare, or on the other side of the ledger, the adverse consequences and downsides like climate change, deforestation, ocean apocalypse, extreme heat, etc.

We are putting together a San Diego Doughnut Portrait with CalDEC (California Doughnut Economics Coalition) to solve for this important but complex question- in partnership with academia, business, government, and the social sector (nonprofits and philanthropy)

If you are not familiar with the body of work here is a 15-minute primer: Kate Raworth’s TED Talks: Why it’s time for Doughnut Economics

If you are local, please join us for this San Diego Doughnut Portrait Session on December 5^th from 4-5:30pm
