Paddy Le Flufy

Paddy Le Flufy is the author of Building Tomorrow: Averting Environmental Crisis With a New Economic System, which has been chosen by the Financial Times as one of the best economics books of the year so far, used for teaching by Prof Julia Steinberger, and described by the author Jeremy Lent as ‘a book that truly helps us identify and travel the pathways of deep transformation toward an ecological civilisation’.

Previously, Paddy has studied mathematics at Cambridge University, qualified as an accountant at KPMG in London, and been a cultural explorer, funded by the Royal Geographical Society to spend a year being taught by indigenous wisdom-keepers in the Amazon rainforest. Since 2015, Paddy has been focused on understanding and communicating how we can redesign society to create a better world. Building Tomorrow is his first major output from this period and he is now writing a series of essays on various aspects of societal transformation.
