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?
