Following the publication of our first whitepaper, By Disaster or Design, Arketa Institute held a webinar on April 29th, 2025 to discuss key points from the report and answer readers' questions.

Our first whitepaper summarizes the challenges faced by finance today; introduces a more solid basis for thinking about the economy, finance and sustainability; and offers some direction for our industry’s next steps, towards greater resilience and wellbeing.

Each of the founders of Arketa Institute have taken a different path through a career in finance. However, we all ended up in the same place. We each understand that finance and economics as we know them today aren't fit for purpose, and we are committed to–and energized by–the idea of building something better.

‘Exploring Postgrowth Finance’ is a series of events seeking to start conversations about what degrowth means for finance and the possibilities for a post-growth finance system.

Matt and Steve joined Jim Pittman and host Steven Zwick on Episode 110 of the Bionic Planet podcast for a conversation on Ecological Economics, systems thinking, and the Limits to Growth.

Arketa Institute Co-Founder Matt Orsagh has been publishing accessible insights into ecological economics and degrowth via Substack since 2023.

In January 2024, Arketa Institute’s Matt Orsagh published an article on the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance.
