New Works Regeneration is a knowledge commons where conversations are a space for emerging the myriad dimensions of radical improvement. On December 16th we added the fourth layer in our Regeneration stack with a conversation about Regenerative Economics with John Fullerton. Together with nRhythm, we discussed how a living systems approach can restructure how we see, think, and practice economics and finance. What are the alternatives to perpetual growth that expand the possibilities of long-term prosperity for all life? What needs to be done to shift our financial systems from degeneration and extraction to the principles of regenerative economics?
