Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
A leading economist shows why current economic thinking doesn't work - and what should take its place
MoreLong description:
Discover the bestselling book that reveals how mainstream economics has led us astray - and what we can do to fix it, now with a new afterword.
*The Sunday Times Bestseller*
*A Financial Times and Forbes Book of the Year*
*Longlisted for the FT/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award*
Relentless financial crises. Extreme inequalities in wealth. Remorseless pressure on the environment. Anyone can see that our economic system is broken.
But can it be fixed?
Oxford academic Kate Raworth has identified seven critical ways in which mainstream economics has led us astray - from selling us the myth of 'rational economic man' to obsessing over growth at all costs - and offers an alternative roadmap for bringing humanity into a sweet spot that meets the needs of all, within the means of the planet.
Ambitious, radical and provocative, Doughnut Economics offers a new cutting-edge economic model fit for the challenges of the 21st century.
