a b u n d a n c e Abundance is a community arts performance project gathering stories and exploring ways that people of different classes, races and ages negotiate economics in their daily lives. Abundance is being developed in a similar way to Pottenger's OBIE award-winning project City Water Tunnel #3, which focused on the construction of a 64 mile long water tunnel as deep as the Chrysler Building is high, which will eventually carry water to nine million New Yorkers. Abundance allows both the participants and audiences to step away from their understandable assumptions, resentments, confusions and fears and isolation, to imagine together economic solutions that work for everyone. www.abundanceproject.net   (455 words)

The Long Tail: The Tragically Neglected Economics of Abundance Indeed, the economics of abundance is almost exclusively the domain of extropians, a few other transhumanists, and science fiction writers. And the term abundance might indeed move the economy to new bottlenecks, scarcities and restrictions, meaning the old theories might still be relevant. The end result of that exercise may be an abundance of products (and consequently an abundance of choice) but that does not argue against the basic reality that factors of production are scarce and choices need to be made in allocating scarce resources for various (often conflicting) purposes. longtail.typepad.com /the_long_tail/2005/03/the_tragically_.html   (13062 words)

Sustainable Economics, Effective Conservation Uses Durability There's no law against planning for inheritance by keeping a stable family size, or against using durability as the basis for real conservation, but before people can adopt low-consumption lives of abundance, we must view unearned income as our right, rather than as a benefit. Otherwise the need to keep all human labor busy with paid work will make sustainable economics impossible. Most automation can be designed to operate with low energy consumption, and without the need to transport many workers to and from work the economy could operate very well on a fraction of the present energy consumption. home.earthlink.net /~durable   (13062 words)

Legal Theory Blog Our confidence in the claim that there are relative values is thus greater than our confidence in big 'C' consequentialism's hypothesis that all values are neutral, notwithstanding the fact that that hypothesis purchases an abundance of the heoretical virtue of simplicity. A virtue politics might begin with the idea that the goal of the state should be the establishment of the conditions for the development of human excellence. Obviously, virtue ethics has something to do with virtue, which in this context is closely related in meaning to the English word "excellence," the Latin "virtu," and the Greek, "arete." Sometimes "virtue ethics" is also called "aretaic moral theory," using the adjective form of the Greek word for virtue. lsolum.blogspot.com /2003_11_01_lsolum_archive.html   (13062 words)

Eastern Economic Journal: Alternative Principles of Economics It challenges the idea that economics deals with scarcity; on the contrary, Bober suggests that the world we live in today is a world of abundance and that economics should recognize this reality. All view economics as a science, albeit a young science; all endorse market activity as an efficient means of raising standards of living; but all three qualify their enthusiasm for markets with the recognition that there is an important role for government to play in the economy. Principles of Political Economy by John Stuart Mill, Principles of Economics by Alfred Marshall, and Economics by Paul Samuelson, each shaped a generation of students. findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa3620/is_200210/ai_n9119718   (13062 words)

Paul Glover for Mayor of Ithaca, NY. Ithacans need both livable wages and a livable community where abundance is secured more by mutual aid than by dollars. He is publisher of Ithaca Community News and is employed by the Ithaca Health Fund. They have not however made clear enough that they will use City Hall's power to gradually build practical regional economic development systems that satisfactorily replace Ithaca's dependence on automobiles, megamalls, wider highways, oil spills and oil wars, stripmining, monopoly utilities, absentee landlords, deforestation, HMOs, and the general use of Cayuga Lake as a toilet. www.ithacanews.org /mayor.html   (1490 words)

Objectivism Online Forum -> Economics Without Material Scarcity My point was, when dealing with a material medium of exchange, relative scarcity (as opposed to abundance) is one of the prime factors which makes a physical commodity a good currency. And, in a civilization in which material abundance is fairly universal, there would not appear to be one or a few physical materials which would fit the requirements for a good physical currency. Every age so far has had its own relative material scarcities, and it might turn out that nano-manufacturing certain materials is more difficult, or requires more energy because of the nature of the atomic bonds involved, or whatever (we will probably still not be able to make gold in any significant quantity - pesky element). forum.objectivismonline.net /index.php?showtopic=2085   (5442 words)

Bat Project Given the importance of coffee in terms of land use and economics, understanding the impacts of farming methods on biodiversity is essential. Calvo and Blake (1998) compared diversity and abundance of resident and migrant birds in two shade coffee plantations that differed in their farming practices: one farm represented a traditional polyculture shade farm and the other a newer, monoculture shade plantation. They found that both kinds of plantations supported many resident and migrant birds, but that bird abundance and diversity were significantly greater (during both wet and dry seasons) on the traditional farm. www.wildlifetrust.org /batpro.htm   (2370 words)

Wealth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The shift from the analysis of an individual's wealth to the concept of an aggregation of all men is implied in the concepts of political economy and then economics. Wealth is an abundance of items of economic value, or the state of controlling or possessing such items, and encompasses money, real estate and personal property. An entire lack of any kind of wealth may constitute poverty, although the opposite of poverty may be sufficiency (in terms of food, shelter, education and healthcare) rather than the abundance implied by wealth. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wealth   (3078 words)

Manageability - Artificial Scarcity, Garbage Collection and the Long Tail The whole of economics is based on demand exceeding supply, that is of scarcity. Now, in a market of obvious abundance, one strategy that I've stumbled upon is that of creating scarcity by artificial means. Well, for starters the classic definition of economics is "the science of choice under scarcity". www.manageability.org /blog/stuff/artificial-scarcity   (1158 words)

Commentary: Joseph Schumpeter and the moral economy This is also true in the world of economics; certain economic conditions produce an abundance of goods and services, and moral people attempt to determine whether these arrangements respect the human dignity and God-given rights of those involved. Plus, Schumpeter did unintentionally recognize the dangers of disassociating human morality from economics when he predicted that capitalism would fall due to business and government bureaucracy/corruption that can occur in the free market. As Lord Acton wrote, "Despotic power is always accompanied by the corruption of morality." That is justification enough to instill ethics and morality in our business leaders, government officials, and the general populace. www.acton.org /ppolicy/comment/article.php?id=30&showall=yes   (1169 words)

Division of ENGINEERING & APPLIED SCIENCE at Caltech John O. Ledyard is Allen and Lenabelle Davis Professor of Economics and Social Sciences. There is an abundance of data and an abundance of computational resources in the world, yet our ability to manage these resources, to be able to look at data and efficiently extract the correct information, is limited. It becomes a real market—a place of exchange between buyers and sellers—because of the number of players and because of their ability to come to an agreement on price and to communicate instantly. www.eas.caltech.edu /engenious/win03/sisl.html   (1850 words)

Crooked Timber » » The economics of abundance It was an archaelogical puzzle; why had this race which had a super abundance of material goods so quickly become extinct?

Nigeriaworld Feature Article - Germany 2006: A World Cup without Nigeria? uper Eagles fans that watched their team devour the Desert Foxes of Algeria by a convincing 5-2 margin in the Algerian city of Oran in the last World Cup qualifier are in shock as to why the same team is in World Cup trouble given the abundance of talents and skills witnessed in that match. Nigeria, as a nation has always lived on the edge be it in politics, economics or in sports. In an age when football has assumed new heights and players have moved the hand of clock in their favor, Nigeria, the NFA and the players continue to revel and luxuriate in the backward stream of inefficiency, tardiness and in a disappointing dose of slothfulness. nigeriaworld.com/cgi-bin/axs/ax.pl?http://nigeriaworld.com/feature/publication/david-west/100705.html   (1503 words)

Withdrawal From Vicodin The United States and Canadian governments share a variety of close working partnerships in matters of trade, economics, and legal concerns. Its economy has traditionally relied heavily on the abundance of natural resources withdrawal from vicodin and trade, particularly with the United States, with which it has a U. In chronic opiate addiction, a surrogate drug such as methadone is sometimes offered as a form of opiate replacement therapy. I think the whole sentence should be replaced by an example of a more recognized difference between the two countries, or a discussion on why Canada is a salad and America a pot (personally I think anyone would be hard pressed to find a large difference between the two countries). vicodin.beplaced.de /withdrawal-from-vicodin.html   (502 words)

In Praise of Black Women - The Inside Story Once upon a time, in May 1989, when I was 21 years old and a student in International Economics at the Sorbonne University in Paris, a friend invited me to the famous Foire de Paris, a huge fair with all sorts of products under the sun, available to the general public. I was fascinated by the abundance of information and illustrations about Black women that I simply had never seen before. I learned from the publishers that the author, Simone Schwarz-Bart, spent three years with her husband, award-winning writer André Schwarz-Bart, researching historical women and illustrations throughout the world. inpraiseofblackwomen.com /insidestory.html   (502 words)

SoyStache™ - A unique project to promote an awareness of the many benefits of a plant-based (vegan) diet. Vegetarianism is practiced for numerous reasons, including health, ecological and religious concerns, dislike of meat, compassion for animals, belief in nonviolence and economics. While there are an abundance of arguments for vegetarianism based on animal rights and environmental concerns, the clearest reason that one might change one's diet is simply for the radical health benefits associated with alternative diets. British vegetarians and vegans have lower but stable plasma concentrations of omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) compared to their meat-eating compatriots, and the length of time a consumer adheres to a vegetarian diet has no impact on omega-3 levels, finds a new study from the University of Oxford. www.soystache.com   (5701 words)

Book Review - Hungry Ghosts: Mao's Secret Famine Mao, who knew absolutely nothing about either technology or economics, got it into his head that China could be remade into a modern industrial power, surpassing both the United States and the Soviet Union, through sheer determination and physical effort. When Mao or any of the other party leaders traveled around the countryside to see for themselves what the actual conditions were like, the local party officials would line the roads with temporarily replanted crops, to give the appearance of abundance. Knowing nothing about agriculture, Mao insisted that all the food China needed could be produced in less time on a fraction of the land then under cultivation. www.fff.org /freedom/0697f.asp   (1221 words)
