Ep. 91 – Doughnut Economics with Roisin Markham
I’ve been wanting to cover Doughnut Economics (DE) since I heard of Kate Raworth who coined the theory. Economics is NOT my strong point, so I was delighted to meet Roisin Markham at an even in Cloughjordan Eco Village who has – almost accidentally – become one of the reps for DE in Ireland. She’s also a brilliant visual artist and all around amazing, generous individual. Stay up to date with her on @creativedynamix on socials
