The collection of lectures and publications from the Schumacher Center for a New Economics represents some of the foremost voices on a new economics.​

The American dream is confronted with three “shadows” that threaten its fulfillment: resource depletion, political paralysis, and cultural ADHD. Otto Scharmer says that we are called “to evolve that civilizational dream in a way that reflects and transforms these shadows by reinventing how we live and work together, by articulating what kind of civilization we want to be and cultivate." The problem with current economic thinking is that it is based on a paradigmatic framework formed by ego-system awareness. If capitalism is to be transformed, economic thought must be reframed to represent eco-system awareness. And if the American dream is to be preserved, we must take responsibility for revitalizing its three parts—the cultural, the political, and the economic. Scharmer has dedicated his career to helping bring about this regeneration.
