★ 顛覆成長迷思！重新定義「經濟」的未來藍圖★ 全球暢銷經典，FT×Forbes年度選書★ 從失控的資本主義，到可持續的全新模型★ 21世紀最具影響力的經濟學新思維當金融危機一再重演、貧富差距不斷擴大、地球資源逐漸枯竭，我們是否該重新思考：經濟，究竟是為了誰而運作？牛津學者凱特・拉沃斯提出一個顛覆性的觀點——傳統經濟學，早已把我們帶往錯誤的方向。從「理性經濟人」的假設，到無止盡追求成長的迷思，她一一拆解這些看似理所當然的信念，並提出全新的「甜甜圈經濟學」模型：在人類基本需求與地球承載極限之間，找到一個平衡的理想空間。這不只是理論，而是一條可實踐的道路。透過全新框架與具體思考，本書帶領我們重新想像未來——一個既能滿足所有人需求，又不會耗盡地球資源的世界。The book behind the hit TED Talk**The Sunday Times Bestseller**Economics is broken, and the planet is paying the price.Unforeseen financial crises.
