Shifting the economic logic from ego-to eco-system awareness: 1. Nature Instead of treating nature’s gifts as commodities that we buy, use, and throw away, treat the natural world as an eco-system that we need to cultivate. 2. Entrepreneurship Reinvent our concept of labour and rather than thinking of work as a “job” think about it as passion-led entrepreneurship. 3. Money Reinvent our concept of money. Instead of extractive, 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. 5. Leadership Instead of individual super-egos, we need to build the capacity to co-sense and co-shape the future on the level of the whole system. 6. Consumption Rather than promoting consumerism and using metrics like GDP, move towards sharing and collaborative consumption, and using measurements of well-being such as Gross National Happiness (GNH) and the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI). 7. Governance Reinvent how we coordinate. Move toward complementing the three older mechanisms (hierarchies, markets, and special interest groups) through a fourth mechanism: acting from shared awareness, from seeing the whole. 8. Ownership Advance the old forms of state and private ownership by creating a third category of ownership rights: commons-based ownership that better protects the interests of future generations.
