The RegenNarration 147. Summer Flashbacks (episodes that people still talk about): Regenerative Economics, with John Fullerton
A warm welcome to the new year. We’ll resume normal transmission of the podcast in February. But to gear us up, I thought to release a summer flashback or two, delving way back in the archives to episodes that people still speak to me about today.
First up is an excerpt from the very first episode I recorded, with John Fullerton. He’s the former Wall Street executive who left that life, and through a fascinating personal journey ended up founding the non-profit Capital Institute, dedicated to bringing about new, regenerative economic and financial systems.
We had this conversation back in 2017, but it’s lost none of its currency, and gives wonderful context to the growing influence and activity of the Capital Institute today, and the movement as a whole.
Note: Enrolments are now open for the third running of the flagship course of the Capital Institute: Introduction to Regenerative Economics (featuring a number of guests on this podcast).
More on John Fullerton: John’s work draws deeply on systems thinking, a broad range of other contemporary and ancient schools of thought, and a range of ‘real world’ case studies, impact investing and other experiments on the ground. All this features in his extensive speaking and writing, including in his booklet, Regenerative Capitalism: How Universal Principles and Patterns Will Shape Our New Economy.
This conversation was recorded in May 2017.
