                  <p>This is interesting, friends. Though, does it not
                    depend on what definition of 'economics' we are
                    accepting as legitimate? Its original meaning (from
                    'oikos' ... and therefore also linked to ecology) is
                    'management of the home' ... so if ecology is put at
                    the base ('understanding the home') and we relate to
                    the Earth our home in ways that reflect a deep
                    understanding, is that not something humans have
                    been doing forever? <br>
                  </p>
                  <p>So, do we accept the modernist westernised version
                    of 'economics', or the much broader, deeper meaning
                    of it ... do we discard it totally because it is
                    badly corrupted/co-opted, or do we rescue it? This
                    relates to one of my favourite pre-occupations, of
                    understanding original meanings of words, and seeing
                    if there is subversive/revolutionary potential in
                    rescuing them, or are they so inextricably embedded
                    in the system we are fighting against, that its best
                    to abandon them and find alternatives? An eminently
                    'pedagogical' quest, I suppose. <br>

                        until it has devoured the Earth and all on it.
                        It has been heretical for 50 years now, since
                        the <i>Limits to Growth</i> report was
                        published in 1972, and a very small new party in
                        a very small new-ish state (the New Zealand
