Ecology and economics share a common root: the Greek word oikos,
meaning a house. Ecology is the way the natural world manages its
house. Economics is the way society manages its house. The
contentions of this book are that the natural world is the best
guide to our economic activities, that supply and demand are
insufficient determinants, that profit and loss are not
alternatives, that wealth cannot be created but can be lost.
Ecological economics is a term that has been coined to encapsulate
these ideas. We can stop throwing away food before and after it
gets to the table. We can learn to deal with our pollution. We can
stop wasting our resources. We must look again at our priorities.
We're in a race against time. Perhaps there's not time enough, but
it's in everyone's interest to try. If we keep our activities on a
human scale, maybe the passengers can regain control of the runaway
train.
