John Fullerton, founder of Capital Institute, proposes "Capitalism 2.0," a regenerative economy modeled on natural laws to foster equality. He argues the modern economy is an unsustainable hierarchy, unlike healthy living systems. Fullerton warns that without this shift, increasing inequality could lead to civil strife.

As an architect of Regenerative Capitalism, Fullerton advocates for financial incentives to create a self-sustaining system. He points to nature's sustainable hierarchies—like a lion's balanced behavior or the branching patterns of trees and rivers—as blueprints for a more just and resilient economic future.
