Imagine a time and place.
Where there is no crippling sovereign debts, no personal or corporate income tax, no counter-productive capital gains taxes, and yet society has all the resources it needs: to build a truly flourishing equitable economy, launch a sustainable green energy system, to permanently resolve major social problems and totally rebuild our 21st century infrastructure with gleaming newness.

Futuromics in its essence is a guide to changing the capitalist system so a new generation may thrive, as they take the 'ride of their lives' on Capitalism's Third Wave.
About Robert
I am at heart a Canadian prairie boy, who has been a surfer, world traveller and failed carpenter. True, I did begin my career in the oil industry after graduating in geology from the University of Alberta. I went on to become Managing Director of Merlin Consulting, a London-based consulting firm. It’s somewhat ironic that I now spend most of my time in the sustainability world, helping companies capitalize their intangible assets and to (finally) acknowledge their environmental liabilities.
Along with my friends Andrew Watson and Joe Batty, I am one of the founders of Rethinking Capital, a London-based community of experts on intangibles dedicated to transitioning modern capitalism (www.rethinking-capital.org).
