A Finer Future

Published 2018 – 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 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, technology and innovative policy. The authors – world leaders in business, economics and sustainability – gather the evidence, outline the principles of a regenerative economy and detail a policy roadmap to achieving it, including transforming finance and corporations, reimagining energy, agriculture and the nature of how we work, enhancing human wellbeing and 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.
