Resumo(s)
Money is critical for a regenerative future. Transforming it is an unavoidable social, political,
and economic endeavor that must be a global priority if we are to prevent future financial crises,
reduce economic inequality and adhere to our climate agreements and sustainability goals. For this
transition to occur, we urgently need new economic and monetary paradigms that address the root
causes of our current unsustainability, offer a new monetary ontology and design, and, more importantly, steer our monetary regime towards the regeneration of our social, economic and ecological
landscapes. We need an ecological understanding of money grounded in Ecological Economics and
an Ecological Value Theory that lays down the foundations for the conscious democratization, decentralization, and diversification of money. In this work, we revisit and update the missing link between
money and sustainability by proposing new ontological avenues and reviewing the design elements
and degenerative processes built into the existing system. We also contribute to the development and
emergence of an Ecological Monetary Economics by systematizing the ongoing monetary transition
toward sustainability and by offering a set of principles drawn from the regenerative economics
literature for the conscious design of monetary ecosystems that contribute positively to solving our
societal challenges of the 21st century.
