Faustian Economics

If you were interested in Teresa's reading on game theory, you may also want to check out this article by Wendell Barry that we read last spring in the Art & Ecology course..."Faustian Economics: Hell hath no limits."

  1. These ideas of "limitlessness" and "The Tragedy of the Commons" seem to keep coming up these days. I wonder how people take these perspectives? More specifically, how does anyone respond to the notion that the individual is no longer significant...especially in a culture where we are bombarded to be "individuals?"
