Let me propose that the Anthropocene does offer us something new: an opportunity to finally invest in those with the power to move our world in the direction of positive, sustainable change – you and me. Our friends and family. Our coworkers, employees, and neighbors. Human beings we know and love, or have yet to befriend. This could be the age of human capital, where we take ourselves, our communities, our organizations, and our institutions seriously as worthy of our most thoughtful and serious investments of resources.
