Ronald Reagan
“It (balancing the budget) is like protecting your virtue, you have to learn to say no!”
Ronald Reagan

Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr.
“Productivity is a crucial economic driver in both capitalism and Permacapital Economics. However, the frameworks differ in their approach to its purpose and the ethical and social considerations that surround its pursuit. Capitalism often prioritizes productivity as a means to maximize profit and economic growth, while Permacapital Economics seeks to harness productivity for sustainable value creation and equitable distribution within ecological limits.”
Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr., Principles of a Permaculture Economy
