Doughnut Economics... in the Southwest

Doughnut Economics is an idea of Kate Raworth’s that is getting increasing attention nationally and internationally. It sets out 9 ecological ‘planetary boundaries’ (ocean acidification, air pollution, etc) and 12 social dimensions (education, health, housing, gender equality, etc.) against which all new plans and developments can be measured to see if they are safe and socially just.
