Natural Capitalism: CreaLng the Next Industrial RevoluLon is a 1999 book co-‐authored by Paul Hawken, Amory Lovins and Hunter Lovins. It has been translated into a dozen languages and was the subject of a Harvard Business Review summary.[2] In Natural Capitalism the authors describe the global economy as being dependent on natural resources and ecosystem services that nature provides. Natural Capitalism is a criLque of tradiLonal "Industrial Capitalism", saying that the tradiLonal system of capitalism "does not fully conform to its own accounLng principles. It liquidates its capital and calls it income. It neglects to assign any value to the largest stocks of capital it employs -‐ the natural resources and living systems, as well as the social and cultural systems that are the basis of human capital." Natural capitalism recognizes the criLcal interdependency between the producLon and use of human-‐made capital and the maintenance and supply of natural capital.[3] The authors argue that only through recognizing this essenLal relaLonship with the Earth's valuable resources can businesses, and the people they support, conLnue to exist.
“Respond to basic needs with what you have, introducing innova0ons inspired by nature, genera0ng mul0ple benefits, including jobs and social capital, offering more with less: This is the Blue Economy.” Gunter Pauli, ini@ator of the Blue Economy The Blue Economy is a progressive metamorphosis from the Green Economy. Based on the noLon of thinking ahead so as to create more good, instead of less bad, it uses strategic, opportunity-‐driven raLonale to connect the environmental, social and financial puzzle. It is a business response to a changing economic landscape in which resource depleLon and social costs are unsustainable.
The Blue Economy: 10 years -‐ 100 innovaLons -‐ 100 million jobs is a book by Gunter Pauli. The book expresses the ulLmate aim that a Blue Economy business model will shik society from scarcity to abundance "with what we have", by tackling issues that cause environmental and related problems in new ways. The book highlights potenLal benefits in connecLng and combining seemingly disparate environmental problems with open-‐source scienLfic soluLons based upon physical processes common in the natural world, to create soluLons that are both environmentally beneficial and which have financial and wider social benefits. The book suggests that we can alter the way in which we run our industrial processes and tackle resultant environmental problems, refocusing from the use of rare and high-‐energy cost resources to instead seek soluLons based upon simpler and cleaner technologies. The book aims to inspire entrepreneurs to adopt its insights, by demonstraLng ways in which this can create economic benefits via job creaLon, reduced energy use, and more revenue streams from each step of the process, at the same Lme benefiLng the communiLes involved
