ABSTRACT
This is a report of a discussion which formed the last session of the conference on Evolutionary Paths of the Global Ecomony, on September 18th, 1987 in Santa Fe. A few days earlier I had jotted down a few nagging general questions about the approach of the economists. Three of these questions eventually became a framework for the final discussion. Here I try to reiterate the questions, comment on them, and give a sense of the discussion.
