The Laghum Economy

How can we harness the power of capitalism in a way that aligns human progress with the planetary boundaries? This is the over-arching question of The Laghum Economy. And the solution could be right in front of us: What if we taxed nature instead of labor? What if we reed our market economy to reward resource efficiency, not just productivity? In The Laghum Economy, Swedish impact entrepreneur Stefan Krook proposes a bold but grounded rethink of how modern capitalism could work. By shifting the tax base from work to resource consumption, Krook outlines a vision where sustainable growth, innovation, and fairness go hand in hand. Spanning from Bhutan to Brussels, The Laghum Economy is not just an idea. Built on decades of entrepreneurial experience and a deep belief in the market s potential to drive change, this book is a wake-up call, a movement, and a roadmap. This is a book for everyone who believes that business can be a force for good. And that the rules of the game matter.
