Regenerate the Economic Machine

How usership, remanufacturing and technological convergence could create a regenerative economic incentive. An independent, explorative report I wrote during my time at SEB. The book can be downloaded via the link below.

Regenerate the Economic Machine by Christopher Lyrhem

What it is about

The prospective shift from ownership to usership of physical products could transform society, disrupt industries and spread a new regenerative economic incentive on a global scale.

The report comprises five parts, thirty underlying episodes and a summary. Every episode can be read, downloaded and listened to.

Key theses

Seven ideas at the heart of the report.

01

The shift from ownership to usership disrupts a number of sectors, from a game of units to a game of service.

02

Products for our brains, that solve problems, convert to usership far more than products for our hearts, that design our lives.

03

Company unicorns migrate from the digital to the physical world, with manufacturing unicorns regenerative in nature and recurring in business.

04

Manufacturing Clouds emerge as the next generation big techs.

05

Physical products become the sixth major financial asset class, through financial twins placed in smart accounts.

06

A shift from depletive to regenerative natural inputs, with potential reshoring of factories and a GEP model complementing GDP.

07

The usership model could become a golden Trojan horse for raising global circularity from 7% today.

Who it is for

Business leaders, developers, entrepreneurs, investors, economists, politicians and students. Multi dimensional reasoning on one of the most intriguing and important subjects I have come across.
