Extraenvironmentalist Episode #63: Next US Revolution (hi/low)
With a media ecosystem focused almost entirely the corporate system, burgeoning elements of a new economy revolution escape the mainstream eye. As our political systems stagnate in the face of ecological, energy and social crises, can an alternative to capitalism develop over the next few decades? Do ongoing experiments in money, society and energy have the ability to coalesce into a broader cultural shift?

In Extraenvironmentalist #63 we talk about the growing network of institutions and businesses that are forming the new economic revolution in the United States with historian and political economist Gar Alperovitz. Gar describes the ideas in his new book, What Then Must We Do: Straight Talk About the Next American Revolution. Then we hear from two of Italy’s leading economists Stefano and Vera Zamagni about the civil society model of a market economy.

The Ideal Economy of Wilhelm Roepke by Ralph E. Ancil
In the volumi­nous writings of Wilhelm Roep­ke, we find an effort to come to grips with this dilem­ma of unfreedom and to outline a way of getting what we want in a deeper and fuller sense. Rather than perpetuate the feeling of dependence and unfreedom by restricting choice to the usual alternatives in political economy (social­ism or liber­tari­anism), Roepke envi­sions a "Third Way" that would in a properly under­stood sense be truly "liberat­ing." It is not the Roepke as Austrian econo­mist that is here considered, or the Roepke as anti-communist, but rather the essential Roepke, Roepke as radical reform­er, as idealist.

Five Questions for Florence Williams
May 18, 2012, by Kristen Hewitt

In Breasts: A Natural and Unnatural History, journalist Florence Williams delves into the biology, culture, and evolutionary history of this life-giving organ. In her witty and wide-ranging account, she explores where breasts come from, why we see them the way we do, and what they reveal as bellwethers for human health in a compromised environment.

Wilhelm Roepke and the Austrian school

John Zmirak (vdare) apparently thinks highly of Wilhelm Roepke--that I suppose is what one will get from his book, Wilhelm Ropke: Swiss Localist, Global Economist. How Roepke differs from the other members of the Austrian school I do not know. One of Roepke's books is in print, A Humane Economy -- published by ISI books, no surprise there. Eventually I'll get around to reading it but my guess is that it will be wanting. While ISI has some good speakers associated with it, and some of the books they publish are worth reading, it's probably a good thing that I am not so closely associated with it, nothing beyond being a student member. There's just too much divergence in our foundational principles regarding politics and economics.

Some info on Ropke (from the Von Mises Institute)
Biography of Wilhelm Roepke
How Different Were Roepke and Mises?

An article with some excerpts from Roepke on mass culture:
"Wilhelm Roepke's Wisdom: On modern mass culture"
(compare with Jose Ortega y Gassett)

I suppose I'll have to stick to Heinrich Pesch and Wilhelm Emmanuel von Kettler. Unfortunately, not much of Bishop von Kettler's writings are available in English.

Through Chronicles I came upon a reference to Hans-Hermann Hoppe. Hoppe is another member of the Austrian school. His article, "Secession, the State, and the Immigration Problem." His LewRockwell website. His discussion of his book, Democracy: The God that Failed. (I had come across this book before, but I had not done any further research on its author at the time.)

I also found this: Court Life in China: The Capital - Its Officials and People by Isaac Taylor Headland
