What You'll Learn
How money, banking and financial systems shape the wider economy—and how they could be redesigned to support long-term human, ecological and economic well-being. Explore the shortcomings of conventional finance, Capital Institute’s 8 Principles of Regenerative Vitality, policies that could shift finance from extractive to regenerative models, and alternative approaches to money and banking.
Why This Matters
Finance influences nearly every system society depends on, determining where capital flows, what gets built and which activities are rewarded. Moving from an extractive financial model toward one designed around healthy living systems could help align money and banking with long-term prosperity, ecological health and the well-being of communities rather than short-term financial extraction. This framing reflects Capital Institute’s stated goal of putting finance in service to people, planet and business
