As someone who studiously avoided economics classes in college, I feel ill-equipped to consider, let alone judge, economic policies. I had the impression that economic growth was bad for our ecological stability l, but couldn't explain why. I loved Doughnut Economics because it covered economic history and concepts approachably, and gave alternative models for thinking about economics. From now on, I won't care about narratives of economic growth - I'll want to hear about how quality of life is improving and our biosphere is thriving.
