Renewable Ignorance by Herman Daly (EB)

Daly gets Aquinas wrong: "Which error are we most likely to commit today? I believe we overemphasize Descartes and pay too little attention to Aquinas. I take Aquinas’s “higher things” to mean purposes, knowledge about right purposes." Aquinas, following Aristotle, is saying that the knowledge of divine things is intrinsically more valuable than knowledge of lower things. Still, his main point is correct - we should be asking whether our practices (to use MacIntyre's terms) are properly ordered to human goods, and we should be reflecting more upon what those goods are. (Hence the importance of seeking guidance from those who are wise, rather than relying upon bad reasoning masquerading as science or philosophy.)

Herman Daly interview

The European:
"We Need A Crisis, And A Change of Values"
by Herman Daly

The European: Let us start with economic theory on the level of the individual. Has the ideology of the homo oeconomicus outlived the model upon which it was originally based? People concede that Smith or Hayek were partially mistaken, yet their credo is very much alive.
Daly: I would add one more aspect: Their ontological picture of man is flawed. Instead of conceiving of human beings as atomistic independent individuals that are connected through the nexus of the market and keen to maximize their own benefit and pleasure, we should really think of man as being constituted by the relationships with others. We are not only externally related to others, we are internally related to them as well. When you ask me: ‘Who are you?’ I would define myself as a husband, son, father, citizen, friend, or member. And in a more physical sense, I would be an air-breather and a water-drinker and a food-eater. The quality of these relationships by which we are constituted determines our welfare far more than the amount of commodities we consume. Economists nod at that criticism of their model and then just go back to doing what they have always been doing.

Japan should look to satoyama and satoumi for inspiration
Anantha Kumar Duraiappah, Kazuhiko Takeuchi and Carmen Scherkenbach, Our World 2.0

The practices of satoyama and satoumi refer to traditional Japanese land-management methods in inland (satoyama) and coastal (satoumi) areas. The concepts, which comprise not just agricultural techniques but entire socio-ecological systems, have provided in the past for sustainable, high-biodiversity areas that produce a range of “ecosystem services” — from timber, rice and fish to energy (biomass and hydropower for instance) and tourism. Although not quantifiable in purely economic terms, the concepts have provided residents and visitors with significant cultural and social benefits.

A wallet full of scrambled eggs
Gene Logsdon, The Contrary Farmer

For some reason, no doubt because I am a child of the money economy, my biggest distress was over my billfold. It was covered in yellow slime. I hurried over to the machine shed where I knew some rags were hanging, and commenced to clean up my proud symbol of capitalism. Then I tried to wipe the yokes and white stuff out of the pocket although by now much of it was all sliding lasciviously down my leg.
