Key Concepts of This Category

The concepts 'regenerative' and 'generative' are often applied in writings about a desirable future economy.

Generative is often contrasted with Extractive following the writings of Marjorie Kelly (q.v.) The term "generative" seems to be used mainly to indicate that a practice generates new resources, or more generally grows things. It is not specified what kinds of things are generated, so it can be applied to an economic practice, but is less likely to be chosen as a word to be applied to a natural system.

"Regenerative", for example as used in "regenerative agriculture" has more of a flavour of restoring a system to a state where it operates in a naturally generative way.
