What exactly is regenerative economics, and what’s it mean for our future? If capitalism seems to be tanking our planet, hollowing out communities, and amplifying corporate greed, are there alternatives that are both realistic and practical?
Our friends at the Capital Institute think so. Starting this September, they are offering three impactful resources for you to consider, at varying levels of time and financial commitment. Take a look.

Monthly Discovery Dialogues
Every month John Fullerton will host a Dialogue on a current and vital topic with relevance to economics and finance. They will draw on our extensive global network of global thought leaders with specific topic expertise to engage in dialogue with John.
From the website:
We draw on David Bohm’s, On Dialogue and Danny Martin’s concept of “Mindfulness Dialogue” to guide our conversations. The roots of the word “dialogue” come from the Greek words dia meaning “through” and logos which means “the divine wisdom manifest in creation” or simply meaning.”
Our Discovery Dialogues therefore do not follow the standard “interview the expert” design of many podcasts. Rather, John and one or two thought leaders will seek to illuminate wisdom through mindful engagement on the topic of the moment, first among themselves, and then including our audience.
To do this, we will explore the topic using our Eight Principles of Regenerative Vitality as our compass. Our goal will be to uncover fresh perspectives and possible pathways forward not previously considered by any of the participants, in other words, emergent understanding and actionable ideas.
