41. Doughnut Economics for Business, with Erinch Sahan
Show Notes

My guest this week is Erinch Sahan, Business & Enterprise Lead at Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL). In this episode, he discusses how: 

  • Incentives in business are working against planetary boundaries and social foundations
  • Growth as a core driver of business is incompatible with doughnut economics
  • We need to make the deep design of business regenerative and distributive
  • Redesign must be at the level of purpose, networks, governance, ownership and finance
  • New models of business (beyond B-Corps) and financial markets are emerging
