The Dougnut: A sustainable economy is one that doesn't "grow".
Kate Raworth proposes a new economic model based on the ecological limits of the Earth. Sensible. Realistic. Humane. Therefore certain to be opposed by the pathetic "entrepreneurs" who believe that profit will somehow insulate them from the facts of biology and physics. Or the "libertarians" who believe that economic freedom mean being free to make as much money as possible.
Find a brief video here: The Doughnut Economy.
Wiki has an article, too: Doughnut (economic model).
