The blueprint for an inspiring regenerative economy that avoids collapse and works for people and the planet.

Humanity is in a race with catastrophe. Is the future one of global warming, 65 million migrants fleeing failed states, soaring inequality, and grid-locked politics? Or one of empowered entrepreneurs and innovators working towards social change, leveling the playing field, and building a world that works for everyone? While the specter of collapse looms large, A Finer Future demonstrates that humanity has a chance – just – to thread the needle of sustainability and build a regenerative economy through a powerful combination of enlightened entrepreneurialism, regenerative economy, technology, and innovative policy.

The authors – world leaders in business, economics, and sustainability – gather the environmental economics evidence, outline the principles of a regenerative economy, and detail a policy roadmap to achieving it, including:

  • Transforming finance and corporations
  • Reimagining energy, agriculture, ecosystems, and the nature of how we work
  • Enhancing human well-being
  • Delivering a world that respects ecosystems and human community.

Charting the course to a regenerative economy is the most important work facing humanity and A Finer Future provides the essential blueprint for business leaders, entrepreneurs, environmentalists, politicians, policymakers, and others working to create a world that works for people and the planet.

Meet the Author

author John Fullerton

John Fullerton is an unconventional economist, impact investor, writer, and, some have said, philosopher. He is considered the architect of Regenerative Economics, first conceived in 2015 in the work “Regenerative Capitalism: How Universal Patterns and Principles Will Shape the New Economy.”

After a successful 20-year career on Wall Street where he was a Managing Director of what he calls “the old JPMorgan,” John listened to a persistent inner voice and walked away in 2001 with no plan, but many questions. A few months later he experienced the events of 9/11 firsthand, and after the 2008 Financial Crisis, John created the Capital Institute to explore ever deepening questions about the future of capitalism.

John’s revolutionary ideas have been met with wide, global acclaim through his writings, talks, and his 8-week online course “Introduction to Regenerative Economics.” A member of the Club of Rome, John was featured in the 2021 award winning documentary, Going Circular, with James Lovelock. He lives in Stonington, CT.
