Reparations are often framed through the lens of division, but what if we reimagined them as a pathway to systemic health and collective regeneration? Tomorrow, February 27th at 11am ET (New York), John Fullerton will be joined by Enith Williams of the Reparations Finance Lab for a vital Discovery Dialogue on the why, the who, the what, and the how of #reparation #finance. Our guiding question: Where does moral clarity and systemic health align? Every month John hosts a LIVE Discovery Dialogue on a current and vital topic with relevance to economics and finance. We hope you'll join us for this opportunity to learn from a thoughtful conversation—bringing new perspectives—to help us navigate this essential challenge that has been avoided for far too long. 📅 Date: Tomorrow, February 27 🕒 Time: 11:00 am – 12:30 pm ET 📍 Location: Virtual (Zoom link provided upon registration) RSVP 👉 https://lnkd.in/eEAbAupV #discoverydialogue #reparations #finance #regenerativefinance

In an engaging conversation on the rise of #RegenerativeEconomics last week, Hunter Lovins and John Fullerton highlighted the importance of local economies and bioregionalism as ways to address economic, social equity, and environmental issues simultaneously. We are all part of and dependent upon an extractive global economy over which we have little to no control. From the food we eat to the clothing we wear, the books we read, how we travel, and even the simple acts of writing or reading a digital message, we are deeply integrated into the global economic system. To understand the extent of our dependence, try not to participate in it for one day. It won’t be easy. However, if you are willing to try, some may have heard about the February 28 #EconomicBlackout movement, a nationwide boycott set for this Friday. Organized by The People's Union, it urges all Americans not to buy anything (buying local is ok) for 24 hours to combat skyrocketing prices and corporate greed. For a more sustainable, long-term approach to shifting from an extractive global economy to one rooted in a living systems approach, Hunter and John suggest starting locally. This requires us to examine the nature and integrity of our local communities to begin imagining how our local economies can develop and grow to support and honor community and place (Regenerative Economics Principle #5). The task may seem daunting, but Hunter offers a helpful daily practice: DOT, an acronym for Do One Thing. It can be as simple as buying eggs from a local farmer, installing a heat pump in your home to reduce energy use, or supporting a small local business. For this week’s #WithLifeWednesday, we invite you to watch or listen to John and Hunter’s conversation masterfully hosted by 🦓 Moh Al-Haifi → 🎥 No Way Out But Through: The Rise of Regenerative Economics: https://lnkd.in/ggEwAurd P.S. Listen to the end to hear John describe how disturbance in living systems brings change. He offers a hopeful insight into the current political chaos in America.

All living systems show patterns that enable them to regenerate or renew after a disaster. For instance, soil depleted from years of growing monocultures can regain fertility by being managed holistically, using livestock to restore the degraded land and regenerate new life in the ecosystem. Similarly, the Capital Institute's 8 Principles of Regenerative Vitality can be used to design and build stable and healthy economic systems that align with living systems for long-term sustainability and resilience. Simply stated, the universal patterns and principles nature uses to build stable, healthy, and sustainable systems throughout the real world can and must be used as a model for a new design of our economic system and the financial system that fuels it. Let’s examine one of the 8 Principles: Views Wealth Holistically. True wealth is not merely money in the bank. It must be defined in terms of the well-being of the whole, including people and planet. This requires harmonizing different types of wealth or “capital” (an economic term) beyond only financial and material wealth to include social, cultural, experiential, and even spiritual capital. All these forms depend on natural capital, which sustains all life, including our economies. Critically, the whole is only as strong as its weakest link.  For this week’s #WithLifeWednesday, we invite you to reflect on what it means to view wealth holistically: 🌱 What experiences do you have with the various forms of wealth or capital, such as cultural, relational, spiritual, natural, or experiential? 🌱 Is there a difference between your experience of one type of capital and another? 🌱 How do you value these different types of capital personally and in a broader context? 🌱 What insights can you draw about our current economic system from how different types of capital are, or are not, valued or viewed as wealth?

I highly recommend taking John Fullerton's Regenerative Economics course to develop an understanding of the principles we can apply to build economies that are regenerative, living systems and acknowledge the Earth as a regenerative, living system. 🌏 John is one of the foremost thinkers I know on the power of applying the latest science on regeneration within economic and financial systems design. I took his course this time last year and it deeply influenced the BioFi book, which I was in the middle of writing at the time. The course is also a great place to meet and deepen relationships with allies on the #regenerativeeconomics and #biofi journey! 🌿 I led a study group that took the course together and met to discuss our experience and learn together. I would highly recommend going this route! You might even come away with an amazing collaborator and co-founder as I did with Tyler Wakefield. 🌻

#donoughteconomics shows the holes and #regenerativeeconomics fills them! 🍩 A nice framing to show why boundaries, and how we use them to re-imagine our economic systems, are so sweet—like sprinkles 😋.
