About
Author of Building Tomorrow: Averting Environmental Crisis With a New Economic System, published in March 2023.
Chosen by Martin Wolf at the Financial Times as one of the best economics books of the year so far, used by Prof Julia Steinberger in her university teaching of ecological economics, and described by the author Jeremy Lent as 'a book that truly helps us identify and travel the pathways of deep transformation toward an ecological civilisation', Building Tomorrow aims directly at creating systemic economic change by providing people with both a holistic vision of a new economic system and the tools with which to build it.
The book focuses on six organisational technologies, each of which are being developed and implemented by pioneering experts and redesign fundamental aspects of our economic system, such as our development paradigm and how businesses are defined. The majority of the writing is about positive real-world examples and potential future developments, which show how people throughout society can themselves help build parts of the new system.
The technologies are the Doughnut development paradigm; the circular economy; the Future Guardian model of governance; regenerative organisational structures; the sovereign money system; and complementary currencies.
