„And, once you think about it, pursuing mission zero is an odd vision for an industrial revolution, as if intentionally stopping on the threshold of something far more transformative… Instead of aiming merely to 'do less bad', industrial design can aim to 'do more good' by continually replenishing, rather than more slowly depleting, the living world. Why simply take nothing when you could also give something?“

„The future can't be predicted, wrote Donella Meadows, but it can be envisioned and brought lovingly into being. Systems can't be controlled, but they can be designed and redesigned… We can listen to what the system tells us, and discover how its properties and our values can work together to bring forth something much better than can ever be produced by our will alone.“

One approach to economic gardening is to embrace evolution. [..] It's an approach [..] of natural selection, often summed up as diversify-select-amplify. Set up small-scale policy experiments to test out a variety of interventions, put a stop to the ones that don't work well, and scale up those that do. [..] No one knows for sure what will work, so it is important to build a system that can evolve and adapt rapidly?

„Today's economy is divisive and degenerative by default.
Tomorrow's economy must be distributive and regenerative by design.

An economy that is distributive by design is one whose dynamics tend to disperse and circulate value as it os created […]. An economy that is regenerative by design is one in which people become full participants in regenerating Earth's life-giving cycles […].“
