Regenerative Economics: A Conversation with the Author, John Fullerton
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.
CBEY’s Resident Fellow and Director of Philosophy at Patagonia, Vincent Stanley, will sit in conversation with book author, John Fullerton to discuss key aspects of the book:
- the unseen fatal error of our current economic model
- key regenerative design principles to navigate the polycrisis
- 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
- 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.
