16. CREATING YOUR FAIRSHARES COMMONS COMPANY —— 379 The practical chapter. You’ve decided you need your company to be at Level 5 in all three dimensions, and what to know what to do to incorporate a Level 5 FairShares Commons company. Here’s how to get your company objects / purposes, stakeholders, dilution, voting, exits, and stewardship sorted out; along with a couple of examples. See why this is the best for investors and founders, because your founding intent and values are immortalized in the principles of stewardship, and protected by the constitution through the stewards. 17. GROWING REGENERATIVE BUSINESSES AND ECOSYSTEMS —— 401 We can get out of this mess by creating and scaling regenerative businesses and ecosystems based on Level 5 incorporations like the FairShares Commons. Businesses should be incorporated for a finite, rather than an infinite, lifetime, and they need far more power with and power to, rather than today’s ineffectual power over. vi CONTENTS PART V: TURNING TO ACTION 18. REASONS FOR HOPE —— 417 The climate emergency and other global crises are rightly cause for concern, and we are entering the last decade where humanity can do something. This is our best and last chance ever to create a regenerative economy that works for you, for our planet, and for profit. All we need to do is integrate what is currently separated. 19. TEN ACTIONS FOR YOU —— 423 If it is to be, it’s up to me. No matter how small and powerless you are, you can act. Here are ten ideas, some of them within everyone’s scope, around the central themes of this book, that will contribute. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS —— 426 PART VI: APPENDIX BUILDING A GENERAL THEORY OF ECONOMIES —— 435 We need a general theory of economies, one that is falsifiable, predicts well the outcomes of any intervention, fully incorporates or aligns with all we know and will learn about physics, chemistry, human nature, motivations, the Cognitive Developmental Framework, and all else. In particular, an economics based on all 8 billion unique realities of our global population, and the non-ergodic nature of these realities and economics. Such an economics is then always relative to everything else. So Einstein’s General Relativity may well give us good ideas on how to formulate it. This chapter suggests one way: accept that all decisions are rational in each person’s local reality, then focus on how to connect one reality with another. Enter a decision spacetime. vii CONTENTS BIBLIOGRAPHY —— 456 GLOSSARY —— 471 INDEX —— 475
