A new chapter! 5 years after Doughnut Economics came out, I've added an action-packed Afterword on what we're learning about turning new economics into action. And in the spirit of the commons, it's free in the commons. Read, share, inspire, let's go.

Great news for GB. The new #BSLAct does not extend to Northern Ireland. Look fwd to seeing the commitment to #SignLanguage legislation in NI being delivered in next #Stormont mandate & examining the detail of that in due course.
