The spoken record

What is said, and when

Made by a speech recogniser from the recording above, so that this reading can be found and quoted by the second. It is a record of what was said — not a typeset edition, and not the author’s own sentences as he would set them. The recording is the work; this is the finding aid.

  1. Local economies as living systems,
  2. y-place-based economics is the future,
  3. by Ammonool Santa Ana,
  4. Luminous Prosperity,
  5. Local economies as living systems,
  6. y-place-based economics is the future.
  7. We built an economy that can price carbon,
  8. but not pay attention.
  9. We measure growth with a speedometer
  10. while mistaking the dashboard for the engine.
  11. For a century, macroeconomics has operated like a watchmaker
  12. who insists gears don't need oil,
  13. only better accounting.
  14. It treats money as inventory,
  15. value as extraction, and people as inputs.
  16. The result?
  17. A system that grows taller
  18. while its roots rot in plain sight.
  19. Place-based economics is not nostalgia dressed in denim.
  20. It is biology applied to human cooperation.
  21. When we stop pretending economies are machines
  22. and start reading them as living systems,
  23. everything changes,
  24. how we circulate capital, how we measure worth,
  25. where abundance actually lives,
  26. and what wealth is even for.
  27. At.
