A Conversation On Compassionate Capitalism

Book Review: Integral City | Evolutionary Intelligences for the Human Hive

Article

Integral Cities is a tour de force: for the first time we find a truly holistic approach being taken to a fragmented, over-specialized subject. In a world where over half of the population lives in a city, and where the front-lines of the battle against climate change must be fought and won, what could be more timely than a guide to creating thriving cities?

The Commons as a New Sector of Value-Creation

Article

Let me start with a bit of wisdom I once picked up from Thomas Berry, a historian of cultures who has said, “The universe is the communion of subjects, not a collection of objects.” This epigraph encapsulates the monumental shift that I believe we are undergoing as we move into a new kind of cultural if not economic reality.

A Kosmos Seminar in Bolivia | Toward Global Citizenship

Article

We’ve asked ourselves many times: what can we do to help others? We live in a complicated country that’s going through powerful changes. One day, a Kosmos Journal came in my mail.

Article

This article gives a brief overview of what needs to happen if we— individually and collectively—are to wisely and effectively engage in shaping the future of our planet and our species. The community of evolutionary entrepreneurs has a rich toolkit of models, maps and approaches to work with

Transforming Institutions

Article

We understand that recognition of the inadequacy of our traditional institutions is the first step toward taking that great leap into a new era where a higher-level consciousness will be reflected in our transformed institutions.

Global Commons Goods | Civil Society as Global Commons Organizations

Article

Effective management of global resources is not possible under our present multilateral system. Because national jurisdictions and institutions rarely line up with the actual geographical regions that contain ecosystems and social and cultural groups, many of the world’s transboundary resource areas lack responsible public oversight.

The Hub | Creating an Ecology of Social Innovation

Article

What’s the Infrastructure for Realizing Ideas for a Radically Better World? Work isn’t working. That much is clear. Freelancers, flexi-workers, nomad professionals and social entrepreneurs are more and more often characterizing the landscape of contributors to social and ecological responsibility.
