Hunter Lovins has been a highly influential figure for many decades in the regenerative economies movement. She is another guest that I struggle to describe in a brief intro. To give you a little idea, she's a best-selling author, including of the seminal Natural Capitalism, with Paul Hawken and Amory Lovins. She's also founder and President of Natural Capitalism Solutions, founding Professor of Sustainable Management at the Bard MBA, a pioneering rancher, and Chief of Impact at Change Finance. Hunter consults for companies and countries around the world, has been named Millennium TIME Magazine Hero of the Planet, and was awarded the 2008 Sustainability Pioneer Prize by the European financial community for her decades of pioneering work. I could go on. Oh, she also recently took out the Humungous Fungus Award – and we will talk about that! I heard Hunter say not long ago, before the pandemic, that her research suggests the regenerative economy is already bigger than the extractive one in her home state of Colorado. But that nobody knows! So I asked Hunter if she'd join me to talk about it, along with how things are changing right now, and of course some of her brilliant life story. Like my other extensive conversations with legendary figures in this space, like Hazel Henderson and Paul Hawken, this one drifted into ever more meaningful and heart felt exchanges as we went. I hope you enjoy this journey through Hunter's life, these transforming times, and where we can go from here. Our conversation includes why she ditched being a lawyer and accidentally became a regenerative rancher, her retrospective view on change and approaches to it over the decades (spoiler alert – where were the stories?), and the growing number of calls she's receiving asking how to build a regenerative economy out of the COVID collapse. So much of her thinking, she says, has changed in just the last couple of months - from what's needed to transition towards renewable energy, regenerative agriculture, and the finance to back it in, to how she goes about her own life and work. Hunter's is a trans-partisan vision where we're all in for societies that are better for people and planet – genuine prosperity. She's helped set up so much of the world's work to this end – including more recently the Wellbeing Economy Alliance and the Regenerative Communities Network. Dana Meadows' famous leverage points piece – Places to Intervene in a System – was seeded on Hunter's whiteboard. This prompts a moving conclusion to our conversation reflecting on some of Dana's profound insight. We're up against it, but we can still make something good of this situation, Hunter believes. Tectonic shifts are upon us. So where and how do we go from here? This episode was recorded online on 7 May 2020.

Welcome to episode 35 of this podcast, the first since we changed name from Rescope Radio to The RegenNarration. We're launching with this special conversation featuring Stephen Jenkinson, an internationally distinguished culture activist, teacher, ceremonialist, author and farmer. He's currently touring with his new book 'Come of Age: The Case for Elderhood in a Time of Trouble'. Eldership is such a vital part of human life – of human cultures – and lost to our peril. It's been a recurring theme on this podcast, since the very first episode with John Fullerton. 'Come of Age' is said to make the case that we must birth a new generation of elders, one poised and willing to be true stewards of the planet and its species. Stephen shares a range of beautiful and powerfully eloquent insights here, on what this might mean for both the older folk among us, and the young. Where do we find wisdom, a joy that isn't sought as distraction, and an embrace of limits as inherent to our humanness? The conversation explores a number of particularly moving encounters in Stephen's life, and what they taught him about such ‘humanness', particularly in the context of artificial intelligence, death-defying potions, and anxiety and despair about the world and what we're doing in it. It all culminates with an extended music production from the last time Stephen was in Australia. Joining Anthony online from his farm in the Ottawa Valley, with the river ice thawing, here's Stephen Jenkinson. Music: Mother Canoe, by Stephen Jenkinson & Gregory Hoskins, from the Nights of Grief & Mystery album The acoustic tune accompanying this episode is by Jeremiah Johnson Get more: https://orphanwisdom.com/events/ - features more on Stephen, including the full range of upcoming events, starting Friday 26 April 2019 at The School of Life in Melbourne.

Historically, civilizations collapse when there are high levels of inequality and depleted resources. Hunter Lovins argues that we either solve the climate crisis now, or we lose everything we care about. But the good news is, we CAN build an economy in service to life, one that reverses climate change—at a profit. Hunter is the President and Founder of Natural Capitalism Solutions, a nonprofit dedicated to the development of innovative climate change and sustainability solutions for companies, countries and communities. A renowned author and champion of sustainable development, Hunter has 35-plus years of consulting experience in the realm of sustainable agriculture, energy, business, water, security and climate policy. She lectures regularly to audiences around the globe and serves as a professor of Sustainable Management at Bard MBA. Time Magazine recognized Hunter as a Millennium Hero for the Planet, and Newsweek referred to her as the Green Business Icon. Today, Hunter joins Ross, Christophe and Paul to discuss her work helping to design MBA programs in sustainability and walk us through the fundamentals of the Bard program in New York City. She share the impetus for her new book, A Finer Future, explaining how we can solve climate change quickly AND at a profit.

We've been on the road for a bit, speaking to people around the country on our way to and from the National New Economy Conference in Brisbane recently. We're looking forward to sharing many of those conversations with you here, starting with this one. Robert Costanza is one of the world's most accomplished and decorated systems thinkers & ‘ecological economists'. Having moved to Australia five years ago, he's now a Professor and Vice Chancellor's Chair at the Australian National University's Crawford School of Public Policy. So it was great to have an opportunity to meet Bob in person and hear some of his fascinating story, recent work, sense of hope, and what he thinks we still need to do to set ourselves towards a sustainable and desirable future. Bob has an extraordinary back-story, list of credentials, and the company he has kept over the years reads like a who's who of the systems thinking and ecological economics fields. This is a guy who has given his all to this work over several decades. And when Anthony spoke with the first guest on this podcast, former Wall Street executive John Fullerton, Bob was the first name he mentioned when talking about the work being done in Australia to regenerate the systems and stories we live by. This is a powerfully concise explainer of where our economy and related systems and cultural narratives need to go – along with the why and how. We spoke about public surveys that consistently affirm most people would prefer to live in sustainable and equitable societies, as well as genuine progress indicators that show the last ‘genuine progress' in countries like Australia occurred decades ago. We also talk about the Sustainable Development Goals, the need for more systems-based education, and to recreate language as we ultimately develop a more inter-connected and holistic worldview. Putting on a fine cup of tea at his ANU office in Canberra, here's Bob Costanza.

Meet Trevor Meier, award-winning documentary film-maker, photographer, and story-teller. His latest film, ‘A New Economy', has been a popular feature on the global festival circuit, including nationally in Australia as part of the Transitions Film Festival. It's a terrific documentary - much-needed, beautifully produced, and featuring a range of insightful people and projects to fire our imaginations, open our view of the world, and sure up our courage to experiment with new ways of doing things. As Trevor explains, this isn't a movie about the economic crisis we're in – it's about going beyond the crisis. It's about what comes next, or perhaps better said, what is currently coming next. Our first guest on this podcast, Capital Institute founder John Fullerton, features in the film. And like John, Trevor has observed hundreds of projects happening on the ground to build a new economy – they considered 600 for this film alone! His observations of these projects, and of the influential people featured in the movie, are as insightful as his films. He reserves particular mention for John Fullerton, which echoes the reasons we were so pleased to launch the podcast with him. But it's his comment on his biggest regret of the film that is just as important in this light, raising probing insights into the nature of diversity and power in this space. He also talks tellingly about the sense of privilege he feels, and accompanying responsibility, to do what he does with his contribution to the world. And tellingly, again echoing John Fullerton, he talks of the liberating nature of living in this way, with this purpose, this sense of being alive, and connecting with the best of what makes us human – notwithstanding, or even because of, the challenges involved. “I don't see it as a fight”, he says, “I see it as life, this process of creation.” Music is central to ‘A New Economy', and to Trevor's background, and in many ways his choice of music to end the podcast, and how he describes what it means to him, says everything you need to know about him, and the potential of the new economy we might create together. Speaking with Trevor affirms a sense of possibility in the world, one grounded in the reality we might not commonly see unfolding on daily media, but we can see it in his films, and hear it in this conversation.

Welcome to our first episode, featuring an extensive, personal and inspiring conversation between host Anthony James and John Fullerton, the former Wall Street executive who became the founding President of The Capital Institute, a non-profit organisation working to change our 'broken' economic and financial systems. John's a former Managing Director of 'the old' JP Morgan, as he puts it, and now founding President of the Capital Institute, a non-profit organisation in the US dedicated to bringing about new, regenerative economic and financial systems. Given these systems are fundamental to the civilisational crisis we find ourselves in, and therefore how we need to deal with it, this is vital work, and a revealing conversation. 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 white paper, Regenerative Capitalism: How Universal Principles and Patterns Will Shape Our New Economy.

Catastrophe or Crash? Welcome to the Carbon Bubble

When the UN's climate chief told a meeting of coal executives this month that most of the world's coal reserves will have to stay in the ground if we want to perpetuate life on the planet, we should have heard a shudder on Wall St. But we didn't. Investors keep on trading in fossil fuel as if there‘s no tomorrow but there will be for carbon, if the governments of world ever get serious about capping emissions. It may not have happened at this month's stymied climate talks in Warsaw, but when they walked out of those talks, civil society groups pledged to get a whole lot less civil, and sooner or later governments are going to be forced to pass new regulations. The world is simply running out of the amount of greenhouse gas we can emit before we warm the climate beyond the point of no return. We may well be there already. The same UN Climate Chief who polarized with activists, was pretty plain spoken with the coal companies. Christiana Figueres urged the energy execs to “honestly assess the financial risks of business as usual.” Not morality, not weather, not refugees or wars, Figueres was talking about finances here, because if you're a coal company your finances are tied up those fossil fuel reserves. They're the core asset on your balance sheet, but only if you can burn them. If you have to leave what Figueres says needs to be about 75 percent of that coal in the ground to prevent the world from overheating that means lopping that same amount off the value of your company. Al Gore got grief when he wrote about this in the Wall Street Journal. He's not an economist the critics said. Figueres isn't a banker either, but on GRITtv, on the eve of the UN's climate talks, we talked to a man who is. John Fullerton began his career as an oil and gas banker before rising to manage global capital markets at JP Morgan. If we're serious about not trashing the planet, energy companies need to agree to take a write-off of $20 trillion dollars, said Fullerton. That makes the $2 trillion sub-prime mortgage melt-down seem trivial. World markets went into a near global depression when a whole lot of mortgage backed derivatives turned out to be junk. Imagine what will happen to pension funds when BP and Exxon stocks shrink by three quarters. The only way out is a massive shift by companies, governments and investors. We're facing what Fullerton calls a "big choice" between a climate catastrophe or a financial one. What's needed, said Figueres, is a “deep, deep transformation”. Do you think we should leave that in the hands of the same people who've failed to take action so far? It's just another reason not to let our governments continue to be led around by corporations. Those civil society groups better be very serious about becoming less civil. You can find a teaser of my conversation with Fullerton on YouTube.

Carlos Perez de Alejo is a the co-founder and Executive Director of Cooperation Texas, an Austin-based nonprofit that helps organize and raise awareness of worker-owned cooperatives. Economics has been a regular theme in The Conversation but, from David Korten to John Fullerton, many of our discussions have focused on systemic issues and top-down reform. While we at The Conversation love big theories and grand visions, we're equally interested in projects. Worker-owned cooperatives fall in this latter category and, while they are hardly new, the changing economic landscape and success of Spain's Mondragon Corporation have raised their prominence considerably. In this episode, Carlos and I talk about how cooperatives critique our current economic paradigm, even as they function within it. That theme leads into a discussion of whether cooperatives will ever be able to grow large enough to meaningfully change the economic paradigm or if they will always be overshadowed by the competition of traditional corporations. In our concluding discussion of Walter Block, Neil suggested that conversation isn't always possible. Carlos agrees, but also points to situations where people abandon old ideologies without conversation. Micah and I kick these ideas around a bit more in our conclusion.

Currently Mark is a Senior Fellow at the New America Foundation, a nonpartisan policy institute dedicated to questions about the American future. We learned about Mark through our 41st interviewee, John Fullerton. There are a lot of ideas packed into this episode: America as an organism in a strategic ecology, sustainability as national narrative that succeeds containment, and the broadening of sustainability to include everything from an engaged populace to new metrics for growth. Mark also talks about America's lack of a society-wide conversation about the future and the difference between being a resident and being a citizen. Topically, there are connections to Laura Musikanski's work at the Happiness Initative, David Korten's new myth, and John Fullerton's financial thinking. You'll also want to ponder the connection between Mark and Lawrence Torcello. Is Classical Liberalism the best path to achieving conversation?

John Seager is the President of Population Connection, formerly Zero Population Growth. Since its founding in 1968, Population Connection has been America's largest grassroots organization dedicated to the question of overpopulation. Prior to his work at Population Connection, John worked for the EPA and in congressional politics. Population has been a regular theme in The Conversation but has not been well developed in previous episodes. John remedies that. He also argues that overpopulation results primarily from gender inequality and a lack of access to affordable contraception—education and affluence matter, but they are secondary to equality. Combatting overpopulation is often thought of in centralized and draconian terms, but John feels that population levels will naturally plateau if individuals are allowed to freely choose the size of their families. Does this make you think of the Constitutional questions discussed in Roberta Francis' episode? Early in The Conversation, Alexander Rose mentioned his concern that a declining population could threaten our economic system. That question surfaced again, albeit in a slightly different guise, when I spoke to John Fullerton about the challenge of decelerating the economy—though we did not talk about population decline, it's worth asking if our appraisals of corporate value assume a growing population. Seager also gives us another perspective on the ideological purity and social pragmatism discussion that Neil and I had at the end of Gary Francione's episode. Like Francione, Seager is a moral realist in certain areas—gender equality being one—but he also embraces incremental change and makes a case for the word "opportunism." Are purity and pragmatism a false binary? Are they equally effective (or ineffective) modes of achieving social goals? Micah, Neil and I will talk about this more at the end of the episode. One last connection to leave you with: Robert Zubrin. Zubrin claims that overpopulation is a false concept and that, with sufficient freedom and creativity, we can support ever greater populations. Does this make him at odds with Seager? Or does Seager's emphasis on individual freedom and choice make his ideas compatible with Zubrin's? We don't know.

John Fullerton is the founder of the Capital Institute, a group dedicated to the modest task of rethinking the future of finance. Prior to his work at the Capital Institute, he was the Managing Director of JPMorgan. If there is a moment that encapsulates my conversation with John, it is when he suggests we need a new word to express the interconnected environmental/economic system. Applying an investor's sense of risk management to climate change, John sees our economic status quo as reckless and self-destructive. If we remain transfixed by our model of infinite growth in a finite system, John warns, we are likely to destabilize the natural capital underpinning our economy. If you're hoping John will swoop in with an easy solution here, you're wrong. Transitioning away from an economy based on infinite growth is immensely risky in its own right. Efforts to stabilize the climate would come at the cost of leaving immensely valuable natural resources in the ground, devaluing many of our most important companies, and causing economic havoc. This yields a choice which, John concludes, isn't a choice at all: economic turbulence with a radically altered climate or economic turbulence without a radically altered climate. As The Conversation grows larger and connections multiply, it is becoming harder for me to choose which connections to highlight. Here are a few that I haven't linked back to recently: John is skeptical of the technological/market optimism voiced (however cautiously) by Colin Camerer. At the same time, his association of life with goodness takes us back to Chris McKay. Without any prompting by me, he cites the precautionary principle in a way that supports Carolyn Raffensperger and questions Max More.
