Economists and technologists bring the "bits", but it requires the social scientists and humanists to bring the "wits." - Kenneth E. Boulding

Production functions involving only land, labor and capital... never work and never explain economic development.

Reality, in its quantitative aspect, must be considered as a system of populations... The general study of the equilibria and dynamics of populations seems to have no name; but as it has probably reached its highest development in the biological study known as 'ecology,' this name may well be given to it.

Perhaps the most difficult ethical problem of the scientific community arises not so much from conflict with other subcultures as from its own success. Nothing fails like success because we don't learn from it. We learn only from failure.
