"Toward a Truly Free Market: A Distributist Perspective on the Role of Government, Taxes, Health Care, Deficits, and More"

For three decades free-market leaders have tried to reverse longstanding Keynesian economic policies, but have only produced larger government, greater debt, and more centralized economic power. So how can we achieve a truly free-market system, especially at this historical moment when capitalism seems to be in crisis?

Spiritual and religious spaces are fundamental community features, reflecting the importance of faith and connection. In a changing global context, the design and use of these places of worship evolve to meet diverse public needs, fostering mutuality, engagement, and social capital.

John McAslan CBE and Aidan Potter (John McAslan + Partners), Sophia de Sousa, and The Revd The Lord Griffiths discuss how shared spaces, values, and connections shape communities socially and culturally.

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.

Human-designed products often involve unsustainable processes, creating materials incompatible with living systems. John Warner, a co-founder of green chemistry, offers a solution: by embracing nature's "materials metabolism," we can design and build products that are truly in harmony with the environment.

Dr. Warner's extensive career includes over 300 patents and 100 publications. He co-founded the Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry and Beyond Benign, a non-profit dedicated to green chemistry education. An award-winning researcher and advisor, he has significantly advanced sustainable design.
