      At 85 and without a suitable CV, I am not applying for a post. However, following publication of ‘Doughnut Economics’ (I have a copy) I did try to respond via your email, but never got any reply.
      I criticized you for featuring the Citizen’s basic income apparently without recognizing its potential role in ‘being agnostic about growth’.
      This is another attempt to make contact.

    I too am interested in this role. I too have a copy of Doughnut Econoimics. I have a history of creating innovative products & business models, and yes, I studied Economics as part of my own University Course ..
    I too at one stage did try to contact you – but I too never received a reply.

    “A doughnut or donut (the latter spelling often seen in American English) is a type of fried dough confection or dessert food. The doughnut is popular in many countries and is prepared in various forms as a sweet snack that can be homemade or purchased in bakeries, supermarkets, food stalls, and franchised specialty vendors.”
    Please keep this in mind as you read on:
    I once created and operated a new style of “OpenStyleBakery”, I encouraged local schools to visit like they would a swiming pool_ the childrens’ visits were fun, educational and healthy : this offer was well received/attended & certainly did bring in a lot of new customers … that bakery became the divine guidance of two feuding aussie franchises. My Point_ there were NO DOUGHNUTS or deep fried products in that bakery – THE DOUGHNUT IS NOT IN ANYWAY HEALTHY FOR THE HUMAN BODY LET ALONE SUSTAINABLE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.
    Why not re-badge & create a new image for the poduct – call it what it is… and once again I would suggest “Circular_” or “Regenerative Economy” – and yes, the “Kite Surfing GNP Analogy” is an excelent one, because no matter what Murdochcracy and the Polictical Power Bases Compromise on the issue of the #ClimateEmergency, they will still want to measure their growth in GNP terms!

    Muchas gracias por la información, es muy interesante lo que ustedes realizan.
    Mi dominio de inglés es extremadamente básico de manera que agradezco la invitación a trabajar con ustedes, pero esa es una limitante.
    Saludos cordiales

    Sounds interesting, but unfortunately I am based in Switzerland. Do you have any plans of expanding this activity to other countries. There are lot of organizations here that might be interested in collaborating. Personally, I am too busy with my New Year’s Resolution: https://nordborg.ch/2019/12/29/lets-solve-the-climate-crisis-in-2020/

    Should you ever need somebody on the ground in Germany to help turn the ideas into practice, I’ll be happy to help. All the best. Frank

    Same here from Italy!
    Biologists and not economists are the ones who should be in charge 😉
    Keep up this good work.
    Best wishes,
    Paola

    Great book. Important book! Crucial even. Good luck with finding someone for the complex rôle. When the time comes for mere foot soldiers, do let us know. Bill, West Wales.

    Pity about not publishing addresses – I would like to contact Neil O’Brien, who seems to be along the same lines.
    And I do think it is important for you to take up my point about missing the basic income’s potential for the crucial mind set change. Just a recommendation to read my blog? http://www.clivelord.wordpress.com

    Nuevo Orden Económico
    Nuevo orden La luz. Es lo último en discusión del foro Económico Mundial según el informe
    publicado en la lectura complementaria anexa al final de este documento. Es el manejo y
    aplicación de la sabiduría, los conocimientos y las experiencia dirigidos al bienestar de la
    población y del medio ambiente donde habita, al referirnos a la aplicación de los modelos en su
    conjunto se universalizan las acciones individuales y generales a la mejor convivencia de los
    individuos con el medio, con el planeta en que habitan, con el mejoramiento de la calidad de vida
    de todos .He ahí la integración con el Modelo DONUTs o Dona que se plantea. Donde se
    visualizan las desigualdades y se manejan los criterios en pro de mejorar los desequilibrios y
    controlar las desviaciones para el bienestar común a todos los individuos de la tierra con su suelo
    y ambiente.
    Después de que el SMART arroja el resultado que consiste en las acciones tomadas para cada
    contingencia, comenzamos a clasificar y avalar cada acción tomada en SMART Reporte, Cada
    Descripción de Riesgo tuvo una acción de contingencia, movida por una actividad hacia un
    objetivo. Aquí enlazamos esa acción y el objetivo trazado con la Evaluación Social y La Evaluación
    Ambiental según los parámetros del DONUTS, la resultante de poner valores negativos y
    positivos desde -2 hasta el +2 según el grado de incidencia de cada acción de Riesgo , el
    algoritmo estadístico se encarga de calcular un resultado final que viene en Excel® DONUTS –
    RISK de cada Proyecto y con cada Portafolio de inversiones que se Gestiona, esta acción genera el
    siguiente paso de Análisis de Dirección a la alta Gerencia, Directores y Catedráticos, Líderes del
    mundo que consiste en canalizar las acciones necesarias para mejorar nuestro ambiente y calidad
    de VIDA. Es el modelo de bienestar colectivo. Esta acción se incluirá en la reingeniería de
    Proyectos como una nueva actividad tendiente a lograr el objetivo de IMPACTO que será la
    próxima actividad a Gestionar en la Gerencia de Proyectos.
