What would it mean to redesign capitalism so it works like a living system? In this powerful conversation, John Fullerton—former Wall Street executive and founder of the Capital Institute—shares his journey from high finance to becoming a leading voice in regenerative economics. Drawing on ecological science, systems thinking, and ancient wisdom traditions, he explains why today’s economic model—rooted in mechanistic, reductionist thinking—is driving climate breakdown, inequality, and social fragmentation. Fullerton outlines the core principles of regenerative economics, including holistic wealth, empowered participation, resilient systems, and the vital role of the commons.
