About The Book

In Outgrowing Capitalism, Marco Dondi highlights the disconnect in our society between economic growth and life fulfillment and traces the root cause to capitalism. He proposes a new socio-economic system, called monetism, that serves everyone, as a practical path forward to solve the issues and inequalities that are deeply rooted within capitalism.

About The Author

Since his humble beginnings on the outskirts of Milan, Marco Dondi has established his career and expertise as a strategy consultant with over a decade of experience in advising CEOs and government officials on economics, economic development, banking, education, adult training, and people development.

Marco holds an MBA (INSEAD, 2012) and a Master’s in management, economics, and industrial engineering (Politecnico di Milano, 2009).

At 28 years of age, Marco went on a Vipassana meditation retreat and re-emerged from a quarter-life crisis with a renewed sense of purpose. Since then, he has been on a mission to challenge and reform the social conventions that hinder people from their pursuit of a fulfilling life ―capitalism being the biggest culprit.

When he’s not working or writing, Marco re-energizes by taking part in various sports on water or snow, creating and cooking Italian and Asian dishes, and continuing to indulge in his childhood passion for wild mushroom foraging.

Marco has worked and lived in 4 continents and visited over 60 countries. He currently calls Geneva home, where he lives with his partner, Kristie, and their ragdoll cat, Panko.

Praise for Outgrowing Capitalism

Capitalism is now in crisis, unable to address some of today’s great challenges. Chief among these is climate change, an existential threat to life on this planet. Marco Dondi, in this excellent book, offers an important contribution to this examination, focusing on money supply through a new concept of monetism. It is this kind of fresh thinking from the next generation of business leaders that offers hope that we can come to terms with our global challenges, before it is too late.

At the heart of a bold alternative to capitalism as we know it, Outgrowing Capitalism contains the most sophisticated and persuasive plea ever for an unconditional basic income funded by inflation-proof money creation.

Dondi eloquently makes the case that modern banking actually hinders capitalism’s creative forces, whilst a fiat-money-based universal income scheme he calls monetism would unleash them, reducing debt and poverty in the process. This book is easy to read, and Dondi’s ambitious proposals are grounded in a unique understanding of banking and real- life economics. His excellent arguments deserve serious consideration.

“I have no background in economics and, frankly, have never understood global economic systems. Thanks to Outgrowing Capitalism, I now do. As I read, I lost count of how many times I yelled out in agreement. My friends and I have had wonderful discussions about this book. It's changing minds. I will own one economics book—this is it”
