About the book:

The Laghum Economy is an entrepreneur s proposal for a liveable planet a call to rethink the rules of the market without abandoning faith in it.

With clarity and hope, this book unpacks the complexity of the sustainability challenge and offers a practical path forward. At the heart is the idea of a Laghum economy – a new form of mixed economy where the free market remains the engine of prosperity, while the state ensures that the rules of the game are sustainable by setting the right incentives. That way, innovation and growth can unfold within planetary boundaries.

The idea of putting a price on nature is not new. What is new is the urgency and the scale required, and the way Stefan Krook demonstrates how it could be implemented.
