My work begins with a simple question: Why does our economic system incentivize the destruction of the very planet we depend on?
This inquiry led me away from traditional economics and into the worlds of anthropology, legal theory, and systems science. I discovered that money isn't a neutral tool, but a legally coded system designed for extraction. But if it was designed, it can be redesigned.
At the Delano Institute, we're not just theorizing about change—we're building the infrastructure for it. From the Y Platform to Karma Cash, we're creating the "trimtabs" that can steer our massive economic ship toward a regenerative future.
