“As political theorist Michael Parenti points out, historians often overlook Fascism's economic agenda--the partnership between Big Capital and Big Government--in their analysis of its authoritarian social program.

“Early ecologists soon realised that, since humans are organisms, ecology should include the study of the relationship between humans and the rest of the biosphere. ... We don't often tend to think about the social sciences (history, economics and politics) as subcategories of ecology. But since people are organisms, it is apparent that we must first understand the principles of ecology if we are to make sense of the events in the human world.” PeopleIfsThinkingWorldShouldFirstsHumansSocialPrinciplesStudyEventsEconomicsEnvironmentalMake SenseOrganismsEcologyRealisedSocial ScienceBiosphere Author:Richard Heinberg
