Ekos, ancient Greek for home and earth is the common root for ecology and economics. Ecosystems are full employment, highly diverse economies run entirely on renewable energy, recycle and use resources efficiently. No debt, no deficits, no betting against the system, no too-big-to fails. Their resilience contributes to their lasting success. The need for economic transformation becomes more apparent by the day. We might learn a great deal from ecosystems.
The McClatchy article brings into highlight an absurdity of current law, limiting the liability on civil damages to $75 million. This is a form of subsidy that must be changed. More on subsidies to big oil in coming updates. H. Cole
