"We have two paths: either capitalism dies or Mother Earth dies. Either capitalism lives or Mother Earth lives. Of course, brothers and sisters, we are here for life, for humanity and for the rights of Mother Earth. Long live the rights of Mother Earth! Death to capitalism!" - Evo Morales

The Capital Institute was founded by its President John Fullerton. It is closely affiliated with the Savory Institute due to Fullerton's deep involvement in the latter.

Regenerative Capitalism

In 2015, John Fullerton published the book "Regenerative Capitalism." At the ReGenFriends™ Summit in 2019, Fullerton was one of three speakers most prominently featured.[1] There, he proclaimed that "the Capital Institute has been at the forefront of regenerative economics," which he defines as "an economic system that works to 'regenerate' capital assets." To "place a true value on the environment," he argues that we need to recognize the Earth as "the original capital asset."[2]
