This deep
dialogue explores the shift from traditional economic metrics like GDP to regenerative economics, emphasizing interconnectedness and living systems. Fullerton and Cox discuss the need to move from extractive to exchange-based economies, highlighting the importance of right relationships and resilience over efficiency. They argue that current economic models, based on Newtonian physics, are flawed and must evolve to reflect living systems’ principles and how our current economic measurements focus on quantity over quality. The conversation also touches on the importance of community and place in economic decision-making, advocating for localized, sustainable practices over global monocultures.
