“A purely capitalist ecosystem is like a wild forest — It’s beautiful and great and productive. But the application of design principles which utilize the natural capabilities already there will result in a luscious fruit garden that is more beautiful, more great, and more productive. A permaculture economy is that luscious fruit garden.”

“A permaculture economy is superior to a circular economy.”

“Like with pure Capitalism — in a Permaculture Economy, trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit and not by the state. This is essential to the success of an economic ecosystem.”

“Capitalism is great at facilitating the maximization of production — regarding efficiency only as it effects the profit of the producer and the profit of the buyer in any given transaction. But permaculture economics is great at facilitating the maximization of productivity — regarding efficiency more holistically and measuring according to multiplicative value effects.”
Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr, Principles of a Permaculture Economy

Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr.
“In any economic ecosystem whereby things are measured primarily according to their present gross utility; it becomes tolerable and even profitable to create, sell and buy products and services which cause net future harm even as they provide present gross utility. This is why a permaculture economy is superior to every other economic ecosystem.”
