Eighth Annual Noble Prize In Eco-nomics (October 16, 2023)

. . .

K          “An award acknowledging and celebrating the work of someone on the planet who really knows something about eco-nomics.  Eco-nomics is about making and sharing; e-con-omics is about taking and stealing.”

J          “The Noble Prize in Eco-nomics is a delightful and playful replacement for the discredited and misnamed ‘Nobel’ Prize in Voodoo E-con-omics.  You get what you reward.  You need to reward what you want to get.  Who gets it this year?”

K          “The recipient of the eighth annual Noble Prize In Eco-nomics is . . . Herman Edward Daly.  He was an American ecological economist at the University of Maryland and the World Bank.  In 1996, he was awarded the Right Livelihood Award for ‘defining a path of ecological economics that integrates the key elements of ethics, quality of life, environment and community’ for his contributions.”

J          “I’ll take my hat off to someone who integrates the key elements of ethics, quality of life, environment and community any day.”
