I’ve recently discovered John Michael Greer’s blog, The Archdruid Report, and while I don’t generally do this kind of post, I simply have to share with my readers my appreciation of his well-written and clearly reasoned economic thought. He sees the economy as an ecosystem, and shows that ecology and economics cannot be separated. I think his way of thinking makes a lot of sense out of both recent events and long-term historical trends. All the articles are fascinating, but I suggest starting with this one. Greer has been known as a writer on esoteric things like Hermeticism, but the rationality of his thinking on ecological economics makes all the mainstream economic theories look like mystical gobbledygook by comparison.
