This chapter delves into regenerative economics, presenting a framework that contrasts with traditional capitalism by aligning economies with natural systems. It introduces key principles of a regenerative economy through real-world examples, such as impact investing in agriculture and the cooperative model of Mondragon in Spain.
In our season finale, we visit with people on two continents who are turning core structures of capitalism on their heads – or, at least, sideways.
