About This Item
Toronto, ON: Vintage Canada, 2001. Soft cover. As New. As New; Like most of the world's greatest ideas, her premise is astonishingly simple: since human beings "exist wholly within nature as part of natural order in every respect," we should look to the processes of nature for vibrant and flexible models of economic planning. Jacobs culls examples from an impressive array of fields ranging from evolution to ecology, chaos theory to cell biology. And because she writes in the form of a Platonic dialogue, a conversation over coffee among five fictional characters, her resplendently original ideas are refreshingly accessible and clear. Provocative and wise, radical and human, this book is yet more proof that Jane Jacobs is a truly visionary thinker.
