About This Item
Vintage, 2001, 2001. Soft cover. As New. Octavo, softcover, as new in orange and black wraps. 190 pp. including index. Starting from the premise that human beings "exist wholly within nature as part of natural order in every respect," Jacobs has focused her singular eye on the natural world in order to discover the fundamental models for a vibrant economy. The lessons she discloses come from fields as diverse as ecology, evolution, and cell biology. Written in the form of a Platonic dialogue.
