Manifesto of a Regenerative Economy

The economy is not a machine for generating wealth; it is the metabolic system of our civilization. The current model, obsessed with infinite growth, is consuming its host—the planet. We propose a new paradigm: an economy that functions like a natural ecosystem—circular, regenerative, and symbiotic.

Key Principles:

• From Growth to Health: We are replacing GDP with a System Health Index. The goal is not to get bigger, but to become healthier, more resilient, and more efficient in the use of energy and resources.
• From Extraction to Circulation: We are shifting the tax burden from creative labor to destructive resource extraction and pollution. The concept of "waste" is eliminated at the design level, as all materials circulate in either a technical or a biological cycle.
• From Competition to Symbiosis: We are developing economic models that reward cooperation and systemic contribution. A business's success is measured by its positive impact on the environment and society, with profit being a means to sustain the mission, not the ultimate goal.
