... picture involving the evolution of the economy and the way businesses conduct themselves. Evolution, defined as the gradual process in which something changes into a different and unusually more complex or better form, is thoroughly distributed in all aspects of life.

... "In a sense, he exploits his fellow tourists; he stands on their shoulders to see the canyon (Percy p.567)." This applies to the strong readers who "do not need experts to explain these stories and essays (B&P p.9)." Like the tourist who does not need the given tour to realize the beauty of the canyon, he sees it himself. Lets get back to Percy's concept of "experts", which relates to those whose knowledge helps validate common folks, and how it corresponds to the paradox in the introduction.

The fact that our earth is in trouble is not obvious enough right now for these people to pay attention to. The ones who are in power and are being successful on their terms like it the way it is and to drastically change something would shake the mountain placing them closer to the bottom. So they would rather overlook this notion of a land ethic and pretend that everything is alright. The way we are using or should I say abusing the land at the present time displays a need for a land ethic. Implanting one is a major problem, however, because economics ar ...
