Full Description
A bold vision of an economy as an intelligent living organism, freed from the mindless finance algorithm, unlocking unseen potential
Regenerative Economics is based on the deceptively simple idea that an economic system should emulate the process and patterns that define all life, enabling it to adapt and evolve to higher levels of complexity. This science-based next evolution of economics explains the root cause of the polycrisis-the compounding impacts of climate change, ecosystem and biodiversity loss, planetary systems breakdown, and increasing social and economic inequity—and promises a hopeful pathway forward at this pivotable moment.
Rather than reacting to crisis after crisis, the purpose of a regenerative economy is to create the conditions that nurture and sustain health and all life.
This hard-hitting and scientifically rigorous yet ultimately hopeful book:
Identifies the unseen fatal error of our current economic model
Outlines a set of key regenerative design principles to navigate the polycrisis
Prescribes transformative individual actions and policies which both embrace and move beyond current materialist ideas of sustainability, circularity, and degrowth, to redefine systemic health and true value within the context of a whole-living-systems approach
Offers a fresh pathway through the polycrisis and toward a new economy—one that prioritizes human and planetary well-being, operates within ecological limits, and promotes a more just and sustainable future.
This seminal work is required reading for business, government, and community leaders; economic thinkers; academics; and anyone who questions the future of capitalism given the reality of finite planetary boundaries and growing social injustice.
