“Permacapital Economics is all about Multiplicative Value Effects. A Multiplicative Value Effect is an effect that arises whereby many good things come from one thing. It's about the increased value that arises from the synergy that exists between connected value producers.

This is how nature works. A seed planted in the soil for example, becomes an antennae for fungal networks, a partner for microbes, eventually grows into a home for insects and animals, eventually produces food for various life forms in the form of leaves and fruits, creates new soil which hosts more of the same processes, and eventually produces an abundance of seeds each of which can have the same effect the original seed had. And all the while, no waste is produced. This is Multiplicative Value Effects, and this is what we need in our economy.”

“With Permacapital Economics, there is no need to limit growth or acknowledge so called planetary boundaries because of the "Produce No Waste" key constraint. By designing an economic system whereby waste does not exist, everything produced is profitably consumed - even bi-products, and therefore growth and productivity in our human civilization becomes a net value-adder to the planet and its ecosystems. We become, through our growth, benefactors of planetary wellbeing as opposed to deterrents of it. Just as a tree, and its growth, becomes a net value-adder to the forest. This is what Permacapital Economics is all about.”
― Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr.
