Help Us Frame the Elements of a Sustainable Finance System

Watch This Video and Join the Discussion!

In this wide-ranging interview at INET's studios leading up to its Bretton Woods conference, Capital Institute Founder John Fullerton talks with Robert Johnson about the ideas and thinkers who have inspired him, the profound consequences in store as our perpetually growing economy runs into the biosphere's limits and the global wealth gap widens.  John explores the transformational role finance must play in fueling the transition to a sustainable economic system.

We want to continue this discussion with you, a member of the Capital Institute Collaborative Space. Please view the video and contribute a response to one of the two questions posed below:

1.) Given the finite geophysical boundaries of the biosphere, how can finance help drive the transition to a sustainable economic system that does not breach these boundaries while at the same time, creates a more just allocation of wealth and well-being?

2.) Can you describe the characteristics of a financial system that support this transition?
