In this special series, we explore how regenerative practice is helping people in place collectively re-design their communities, cities and economies and create a thriving home for all on our planet. In this fourth episode, Josie and Daniel explore new models for structuring our economies with radical economists Kate Raworth and John Fullerton.

The words economy and ecology have the same root in Ancient Greek – oikos, meaning home. In an era marked by climate breakdown and profound social challenges, what is our economy telling us about our home? And what is our home, planet Earth, telling us about our economy? 

In this episode, we discuss the rise of regenerative economics with guests Kate Raworth and John Fullerton. 

Kate Raworth is a renegade economist focused on making economics fit for 21st century realities.  Her internationally acclaimed framework of Doughnut Economics has been widely influential amongst sustainable development thinkers, progressive businesses and political activists. Her Doughnut Economics Action Lab is now working with communities around the world to put it into practice in our neighbourhoods and cities. 

John Fullerton is an impact investor, writer, and unconventional economist and is the Founder of the Capital Institute. He is the author of Regenerative Capitalism: How Universal Patterns and Principles Will Shape the New Economy and is supporting business leaders explore what regenerative economics could look through his new course which brings together leading thinkers across economy, business and finance.
