I gotta be honest, I’ve got these notes in my e-files but I don’t remember where I got the article from. However, it’s too good not to pass on. The following are the “eight institutional innovations” that could update our economic systems to operate more intelligently and shift the economic logic “from ego-to eco-system” awareness:
1 Nature
Instead of treating nature’s gifts as commodities that we buy, use, and toss; treat the natural world as an eco-system to cultivate. In other words; stewardship.
2 Entrepreneurship
Reinvent our concept of labour; rather of work as a “job” think about it as passion-led entrepreneurship.
3 Money
Reinvent our concept of money. Remove extractive nature of capitalism; capital should be intentional, serving rather than harming the real economy.
4 Technology
Reinvent how we develop technologies. Empower all people to be makers and creators rather than passive recipients. Can you say “DECENTRALIZED!” (-:
5 Leadership
Instead super-ego wars, build the capacity to co-shape the future on the level of the whole system. Down with egos, oligarchs, kings, dictators and all that macho-wacho crap.
6 Consumption
Create a Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI). Stop just “producing to produce”; especially if it’s just extracting and producing negative externalities and pollution for future generations.
7 Governance
Reinvent how we coordinate, shared awareness, and promote seeing the whole. Wow, that is a tall order … but someday it will happen!
8 Ownership
State, private, and commons-based all need to be re-evaluated for the interests of future generations. In the end, what do we all really “own” anyways. Again, away from ego selfishness and towards eco unselfishness. Everything can be here for “us”, but only if it is “us” that take care of it.

This is absolutely amazing.
Thanks for posting this. You really hit upon this. Resteemed it.
Thanks bro ... appreciate all you do // Steem On !
Those images are an excellent representation of society.
But I wanna talk about ownership because in my opinion we don’t actually own anything, or we do and then we die and that’s it, all our houses and cars we have bad is rendered useless because we are now useless.
This then links back to money, as now we should make money serve us rather than we serve money, through doing job excellence or finding passion that is smart and rewarding.
Yes, good point, I'm sure future generations will find our concepts about 'ownership' very tribal, primitive, and insipid vanity.
wow that's really great details and how greatly done the differentiation between ego and eco thanks for sharing such an important post!
thank you sir / have a good one (-:
pleasure is all mine!bro
Great article, great ideas. Unfortunately it will take a major global catastrophe before enough people realize we should be doing this now.
Probably true ... human, all too human
I agree with most of this, but I'm not sure there is alternative to Leadership. I agree that the ego can be jettisoned though. :-) I really like #4
Holy cow! Great post!
Big thanks to @taskmaster4450 for resteeming it as I would have missed it.
It will definitely take a concerted effort to be able to make this shift in any considerable fashion. Taking the first steps to educate and socialize the idea is fantastic.
I like the comment below about the catastrophic event having to take place in order for anyone to be truly motivated to change. Don't let that stop us from thinking of the solution and discussing it before we hit that wall.
Thanks for sharing!
Great post, I think we are heading in the right direction.
