Perspective piece exploring what capital allocation systems designed for human flourishing look like, using jhana meditation states as a framework.

Content

• Why contemplative practice and capital allocation belong in the same conversation
• Five design principles for flourishing-oriented allocation:

• Practical applications: bioregional finance, attention-liberating tech, regenerative economics
