Relationalized Finance for Generative Living Systems and Bioregions

How will the Great Transition be funded? This essay by David Bollier and Natasha Hulst reimagines finance as a relational, place-based system designed to serve living systems rather than extract from them. Moving beyond conventional capital flows and profit maximization, it proposes financial models rooted in reciprocity, stewardship, and long-term ecological health at the bioregional scale. By reframing money as a tool for regeneration rather than extraction, it offers a compelling pathway toward economies aligned with life. The work strongly reflects the Planet Project’s values of minimizing harm, environmental stewardship, cooperation, and self-organizing systemic transformation.
