Joy Gilfilen, Host of the iChange Justice Podcast, interviews Marc Santos of NobleGoldman.com about how "Regenerative Economics" is the next step in transforming the business of injustice. It is all about learning how to value humans inside an economic system that includes rebuilding our communities. At this point, the economy is enrolled in a degenerative pattern of exclusion for the benefit of the privileged interests that control the system.
To understand the complexity of the problem, we do a flashback into history. Marc explains how changes in monetary policies going back to the 70s and the Friedman Doctrine changed the balance of power in our economies in the 80s and 90s, which is even more extreme today. It created a serious imbalance in favor of "shareholder supremacy," which has been deeply misrepresented and convoluted throughout our discussions in the civic square. This has led to extreme conflicts in so many ways that it is riddled with doublespeak, greed, and extreme civic trauma. The negative impact is felt at every societal level - yet in the middle is a thread of common sense that we can use to heal the heartbreak as we reknit our society using restorative economic tools.
