An Initiative

Reimagining Capitalism.

The system we inherited was built for one moment in history. The question that has run through three decades of work: how do we reshape it for people, place, and the long present?

Signature talk · 1M+ views

Empowering people to drive meaningful change.

The talk’s argument is not that capitalism should be abolished or defended. It is that the people inside the system have far more power to reshape it than they have been told — and that meaningful change begins with empowerment, not reform handed down from above.

The argument

An economic system born of one moment in history has been treated as though it were a law of nature. It is not. It is a design — and anything designed can be redesigned.

The work here is not utopian. It is practical: identifying where ordinary people, institutions, and capital already have leverage, and making the case that using that leverage deliberately — toward people, place, and the long present — is both possible and overdue.

The through-line

Not one talk. Three decades of work.

01

Policy work

It began in the field — designing nature-based solutions with governments and communities, where the limits of the inherited economic model are not theoretical.

02

The TEDx

Carried onto the TEDxCU stage in April 2025. The talk crossed one million views in its first year and turned a body of work into a public conversation.

03

Now

Continued in essays, keynotes, and advocacy — and in Bhumi Investments, a regenerative-capital firm putting the argument into practice.
