Both biosphere and technosphere are self-organizing systems, dissipative structures, that grows when used exergy is rewarded with new exergy. The difference is that in the case of the biosphere uses the (almost) infinite solar energy and the entropy (heat) is lost in space while the technosphere uses finite resources and the entropy (heat and waste) stays on earth. Biosphere is based on nature. Technosphere is based on the idea of money.

Because externalities were treated as externalities they became the social and ecological crises of today. We have to include externalities to be able to flourish in the future. Equilibrium economics limited assumptions (perfect competition, diminishing returns, full information, and rational actors) but real world is complex See Thinking in system. 120 I ECOLOGICAL ECONOMICS – PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATIONS Perfect information concerning impacts on ecosystems is a mirage 179 6^th design principle – the domain of the policy-making unit must be congruent with the domain of the causes and effects of the problem with which the policy deals. Goal of efficient allocation – market. Goal of sustainable scale - keep throughput within absorptive and regenerative capacities of the ecosystem. Goal of just distribution – limited range of inequality on market. Order 1. Scale. 2. Distribution. 3. Efficient allocation. 363 I THINKING IN SYSTEMS – A PRIMER Compelling feedbacks. Radical democracy. Politicians who decide on war were put on the frontlines. “There is a systematic tendency on the part of human being to avoid accountability for their own decisions. That’s why there are so many missing feedback loops - and why this kind of leverage point is so often popular with the masses, unpopular with the power that be, and effective, if you can get the power that be to permit it to happen (or go around them and make it happen anyway).” 157 “‘Intrinsic responsibility’ means that the system is designed to send feedback about the consequences of decision making directly and quickly and compellingly to the decision makers.” Make industries intake pipe be below wastewater outflow pipe. 179 Problem of pushing a button for war. 180 I A BLUEPRINT FOR SURVIVAL “Bring demand and supply closer with industries more integrated in community to avoid waste, overproduction and production of good it doesn’t want and “thereby eliminating the needless expense of time, energy and money in attempts to persuade it that it does.” 15 I COLONIALISM IN THE ANTROPOCENE: THE POLITICAL ECOLOGY OF THE MONEY-ENERGY-TECHNOLOGY COMPLEX “Money cannot neutralize ecological damage in a physical sense. Monetary compensation for environmental damage can reduce contemporary grievances, but it is illusory to believe that ‘correct’ reparations could be calculated, or that they would somehow set things straight. The ecological debt of Britain, for instance, is as incalculable as its debt to the descendants of West African slaves. To raise the price of energy and raw materials, as Bunker suggested, would undoubtedly reduce the current magnitude of ecologically unequal trade (and the accumulation of technological infrastructure) in the world, but it would not make trade equal. Like the notion of making ‘correct’ recompense for past asymmetries, pricing resources high enough to neutralize the damage caused by their extraction would be tantamount to shutting down industrial capitalism.” 15 I BEYOND GROWTH “This primacy of nature’s value added (low entropy) leads to Georgescu-Roegen’s view that ‘every time we produce a Cadillac we irrevocably destroy and amount of low entropy that could otherwise be used for producing a plow or a spade. In other words, every time we produce a Cadillac, we do it at the cost of decreasing the number of human lives in the future.” Same for intragenerational poverty. “Growth cannot forever substitute for redistribution and population control in fighting poverty.” Cannot have USA as a vision for worldwide generalization. A new development model for the whole world “would emphasize population control, limits to inequality in distribution, and production for suffiency in basic needs.” 196 I THE SPIRIT LEVEL: WHY MORE EQUAL SOCITIES ALMOST ALWAYS DO BETTER
Equality precondition for steady-state economy. Status competition a driver of consumption, consumption for social distinction. Cost of dissatisfaction that rich impose on society, like smoke from on a chimney. 222 To encouragement Next encouragement
