The collection of lectures and publications from the Schumacher Center for a New Economics represents some of the foremost voices on a new economics.
John Fullerton—global financier, impact investor, and founder/president of Capital Institute—invites us to search with an open mind for the wisdom we need to transition our economic system onto a sustainable path, grounded in ecological reality, with a respect for human justice and a deep appreciation for all life. After 18 years at JPMorgan he came to identify global finance as a root cause in fueling our unsustainable economic system. This realization led him to focus on the proper role of finance within a healthy economy. Fullerton argues that the invaluable ideas of E. F. Schumacher are based on the great spiritual and philosophical teachings that eliminate the contradictions of modern economics. Schumacher’s instruction is clear and compelling: to study the economics of permanence.
