Re: Yuri receives hypocrite of the week award (was Re: Ecological Economics and Entropy)



I'm confused about what this argument is about.  Cities get supplies
from the rest of the world, and the rest of the world gets many things
from cities, e.g. equipment, government, entertainment.  Is there an
argument that one could get along without the other?  If they were
separated, the cities would starve, the rest would have a big die-off
but would survive and would then re-create cities in order to get the
services cities supply.

Is there some deeper issue that I am missing?
