#Research-for-Action Seminar: Rethinking Money for a Doughnut Economy

Welcome to the latest Doughnut Research-for-Action seminar, entitled Rethinking Money for a Doughnut Economy, co-hosted with Tom Foster and convened by Doughnut Economics Action Lab.

📅 Wednesday, May 27, 8:30-9:30 AM (UK time)

Session Summary

Doughnut Economics redefines how we think about growth and value within limits. This session explores how rethinking money can improve its analytical and practical application. Drawing on contemporary monetary insights, it examines the nature and purpose of money, how it is created, and how this reshapes our understanding of economic possibilities to meet the needs of all people while enabling economies to operate within planetary boundaries. The focus is on strengthening the Doughnut’s application in practice, across themes such as government and policy, cities and regions, business and enterprise, and research and academia.
