A Natural Systems Approach to Local Economic Development | Anthony Allen | TEDxQuinnipiacU

Our economic system is fundamentally flawed. Unless we begin to question and change some of the assumptions that were used to build it, our collective future is in serious jeopardy. This talk presents a clear case that runs counter to prevailing economic theory – that in order to reverse course on our most intractable problems, we must accept limits to growth and humble ourselves to become students of natural systems. Anthony advocates for building a circular business ecosystem to accelerate transition to a regenerative and just economy. Anthony Allen is a self-described idealist, pragmatist and optimist who is committed to challenging conventional systems and thinking (including his own). He is the founder of A Tipping Point, a nonprofit organization working to pioneer a replicable model for circular business ecosystems that serves and uplifts the surrounding community and forms the basis for a more just and regenerative economy. Allen is always learning, values questions over answers, and is an avid backpacker and aspiring tiny house owner. He lives in New Haven, Connecticut, and has an MBA from Quinnipiac University and a Certificate in Social Impact Strategy from the University of Pennsylvania. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
