Rob Shorter: In Community, Reimagining the Economy

The Neighboring Movement Podcast

After a short break, we're back! For today's episode, host Adam sat down with Rob Shorter, the Communities & Art Lead at the Doughnut Economics Action Lab. In the episode, Rob explores the necessity of reimagining economies and how this intersects with living in community.

Doughnut Economics, you say? That's right, Doughnut Economics! This fun name describes an idea that was first coined and written about by economist Kate Raworth and which essentially outlines how humanity might thrive in this modern era - reimagining economies in which everyone's basic needs are met while also respecting the beauty and boundaries of the planet we call home. And yes, all of this is symbolized by none other than a doughnut! Tune in to the episode to hear Rob describe this fascinating concept and how it intersects with community development.
