Late Native American scholar John Mohawk explored the interrelationship of human evolution and today's climate crisis. He observed that historically, hunter-gatherers and farmers maintained an intimate knowledge of the natural world, especially plants, a connection now rapidly diminishing.

Mohawk highlighted "Native American pragmatism," which successfully balanced practical and spiritual aspects for millennia. He argued that re-establishing this kinship with the plant world, guided by such pragmatism, is crucial for surviving dramatic climatic changes.

John Fullerton, founder of Capital Institute, proposes "Capitalism 2.0," a regenerative economy modeled on natural laws to foster equality. He argues the modern economy is an unsustainable hierarchy, unlike healthy living systems. Fullerton warns that without this shift, increasing inequality could lead to civil strife.

As an architect of Regenerative Capitalism, Fullerton advocates for financial incentives to create a self-sustaining system. He points to nature's sustainable hierarchies—like a lion's balanced behavior or the branching patterns of trees and rivers—as blueprints for a more just and resilient economic future.
