Ecocentric Capitalism is "life-first" thinking within the scope of commercial enterprise; departure from the bottom-line-first approach of 📝Egocentric Capitalism and return to the stewardship of our shared ecological and social commons that is the ultimate source of life and profit.

Understanding that everything of value ultimately arises from life, ecocentric organizations place a higher value on living assets (people and Nature) than nonliving capital assets (money). The energy invested in stewarding those assets is called 📝Living Asset Stewardship (LAS).

The transition from ego-driven to eco-driven enterprise is captured in the frame 📝Eco > Ego — a shift Otto Scharmer describes as discovering and cultivating the social field in which we live. That transition plays out through the exchange of multiple 📝Types of Capital: financial, natural, intellectual, social, cultural, and spiritual.

Reflections

"The 📝Age of Reunion is a return to the Original Religion of 📝animism. No longer will we divide the universe into the sacred and the profane, the spiritual and the mundane. Everything will be sacred because we know that everything is unique, even each electron, each drop of water, and certainly each human being." ~ 📝Charles Eisenstein
