Michael’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Towards an Economics of Natural Equals: A Documentary History of the Early Virginia School

Towards an Economics of Natural Equals: A Documentary History of the Early Virginia School by David M. Levy

2 highlights

For Whately, political economy is concerned only with exchange. He thus proposed a different name for economics, katallactics, his coinage for the science of exchange.

“Because I know that time is time and place is always and only place and what is actual is actual only for one time and only for one place, I rejoice that things are as they are and I renounce the blessed faces and renounce the voice because I cannot hope to turn again.”
― T.S. Eliot, Ash Wednesday
