Life, B. (2026). An Introduction to Bioregional Economics (Part I): Design Principles of a Bioregional Economy. 3 August 2026.
The fullest current specification of bioregional economics as a discipline. Life defines the field as the study and practice of designing regenerative, cooperatively owned, place-based economies within the carrying capacity of their landscapes. The essay lays out the Two Machines diagnosis (debt-based money and the shareholder corporation as structural drivers of extraction), four pillars (multi-capital circulation, cooperative ownership, mutuality, holistic wellbeing) and two commitments (subsidiarity and consent) as design principles, and closes with the missing-middle question that Part II is understood to address.
