Episode notes
Modern Wealth Erased Nature From Value
- Wealth definitions shifted historically from nature-based to capital-and-labor, causing nature to be treated as worthless in modern accounting.
- Martin Stuchtey argues this divergence explains why societies value pristine nature emotionally but economically erase it, driving systemic risk.

- Create digital natural capital accounts to give every land pixel an auditable ecological passport and demonstrate growing nature stocks.
- Martin's Landbanking Group intends to mint these accounts so nature becomes indexable collateral in markets.

- Proposes a Bretton Woods 2.0 where nature capital could serve as collateral or underpin currencies because technology enables auditable units of nature.
- Central banks stress tests show nature is the single biggest threat to currency robustness, motivating this rethink.
