How do we create a better economy? | TED-Ed | TED-Ed Animation

Find out why growth isn’t always good or a sign of progress when it comes to economics and why embracing change within this system is important for our future with the lesson-based TED Talk, “How do we create a better economy?” Can we call any economy “healthy” in the face of dwindling resources and growing inequality? What if we cut off our addiction to endless growth, and used a new compass for modern prosperity? This video explains “doughnut economics,” a innovation on economics based on sustainability that aims to meet the needs of people without overshooting the Earth’s ecological limits to reframe the global economy and our economic systems. This video is directed by Vicente Nir≈ç of AIM Creative Studios, and is narrated by Kate Raworth and George Zaidan with music by André Aires.
