I know enough not to make his errors.
What you need is a little BLASPHEMY to clear yer head.
Of course, dogma is far more comfortable. It's just
a little stale and moldy, that's all.
* 1977, Steady-State Economics
* 1989, For the Common Good
I really haven't been keeping up, but those are good oldies.
If I were designing yer education I'd have you start
with Hardin's Living Within Limits as a primer, but
one book is all I could hope for, and I'm 95% sure you won't.
The second is particularly addressed to your kind.
Smug closed-minded academians. The knind who when they
hear those words shut there ears and loudly sing He's
Not Singing MY TUNE PROOF He knows NOTHIIIIING! Proof proof
proof!
....The kind who fear and avoid academic BLASPHEMY...for the usual
reasons it's avoided.
But the first book is nice and short.
All three are good primers, Hardin a primer to Daly.
In any case, anybody who claims an interest in economics
who has never even heard of Ecological Economics is
not likely to be taken seriously anywhere outside of
a museum or mausoleum.
You must like Julian Simon, the growthmaniac.
....Then your ignorance is twice as egregious.

Herman Daly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Herman Daly (1938) is an American ecological economist and
professor at the School of Public Policy of University of
Maryland, College Park in the United States.
He was Senior Economist in the Environment Department of the
World Bank, where he helped to develop policy guidelines related
to sustainable development. While there, he was engaged in
environmental operations work in Latin America.
Before joining the World Bank, Daly was Alumni Professor of
Economics at Louisiana State University. He is a co-founder and
associate editor of the journal, Ecological Economics.
He is also a recipient of a Honorary Right Livelihood Award (the
alternative Nobel Prize), the Heineken Prize for Environmental
Science from the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences,
the Sophie Prize (Norway) and the Leontief Prize from the Global
Development and Environment Institute.
He is widely credited with having originated the idea of
uneconomic growth, though some credit this to Marilyn Waring who
developed it more completely in her study of the UN System of
National Accounts.
[edit] Quotes
“If you’ve eaten poison, you must get rid of the substances that
are making you ill. Let us then, apply the stomach pump to the
doctrines of economic growth that we have been forced-fed for
decades.”
“We cannot have too many people alive simultaneously lest we
destroy carrying capacity and thereby reduce the number of lives
possible in all subsequent time periods.”
“Environmental degradation is an iatrogenic disease induced by
the economic physicians (pro-growth advocates) who attempt to
treat the sickness with unlimited wants by prescribing unlimited
production. We do not cure a treatment-induced disease by
increasing the treatment dosage.”
“Current economic growth has uncoupled itself from the world and
has become irrelevant. Worse, it has become a blind guide.”
[edit] Literature
Daly's interest in economic development, population, resources,
ecological economics, and the environment has resulted in over a
hundred articles as well as numerous books, including:
* 1977, Steady-State Economics
* 1989, For the Common Good, with theologian John B. Cobb,
Jr.: This received the Grawemeyer Award for ideas for improving
World Order.
