How do we redesign a new economic theory framed by ecological systems? The Guardian
Economics as we know it today is broken. Unable to explain, to predict or to protect, it is need of root-and-branch replacement. Or, to borrow from Alan Greenspan, it is fundamentally “flawed”.
But where do we look for inspiration in facilitating what is the mother of all paradigm shifts? Interestingly, the most insightful and strikingly innovative ideas are coming from all directions other than the economics profession.
Ecology offers the insight that the economy is best understood as a complex adaptive system, more a garden to be lovingly observed and tended than a machine to be regulated by mathematically calculable formulae.
For some reason Jonathan Dawson and the Guardian articulate the economic ecosystem conundrum in a way that ia always very readable. Mark this for Sunday reading, too.

Excellent, Daniel, thanks for sharing the article with more people!
I’m really enjoying the theme/design of your weblog. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility issues? A small number of my blog readers have complained about my blog not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any solutions to help fix this problem?
