Another bright morning and a good run through the woods.
A Norwegian architect, Bjørn Berge, writing for the Scottish Ecological Design Association, has produced a remarkably succinct summary of our ecological dilemma: the global economy is an open subsystem subordinate to the earth's ecosystem, which in turn is finite, without the possibility to grow. As long as the economic subsystem grows it will incorporate more and more of the total ecosystem, until the limit of 100% is reached.
Sadly, multinational capitalists will probably see such an analysis as a challenge rather than a hazard warning. After all, why be concerned about tomorrow if you can become obscenely rich today. Let's privatise the entire planet ! Whoop whoop !!
