Or maybe Mother Earth is frantically calling for Doughnut Economics?

10 papers in ecological economics that changed me.

1. The Economics of the Coming Spaceship Earth (Boulding, 1966).
Concisely covers most core principles of ecological economics, comparing the “cowboy” economy we have with the “spaceman” economy we need.

Ruling AKP suffers historic defeat in #TurkeyElections (local).

🇹🇷 Opposition CHP now #1 party, dominates electoral map.

Thumping majority in Istanbul & Ankara. Won back my home city of Bursa + others. All despite allied parties deserting them.

Also, YRP new force on right.

This is going to be a big theme of our work in London, one of the world's leading financial centres, in the coming year. Lots of great people in the City of London keen to get involved. City of London Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan Get in touch (email in profile). 😊

A useful thread of great Econ papers. But the most essential econ-expanding framework for me is to see the economy as part of - and fully dependent upon - our delicately balanced living planet.

Bonus paper 11) On economics as a life science - Herman Daly

Can we finance the transition? Yes, but we'll need to redesign both business & finance.

Today, life is in service of finance. We need finance to be in service of life.
