What's in a Name?

I've been thinking about changing the name of this blog for quite a while. I never intended to steal the trademark name "Ecological Economics" from its rightful owners. Instead, my hope was that I might draw a few key players from that arena into the blogosphere to add voice to ecological economic issues and policy matters. That effort failed just as did my similar effort in matters of forests and US national forest management. But in failure, at least I found the will to share some information.

And I probably did help a few folks gain insight into the cross-disciplinary conversation that was, and hopefully still is the foundation for ecological economics. The new name is Ecology and Economics, subtitled "Cross-Disciplinary Thoughts". At least that's the name until I realize that I've stolen the name from someone else. Likely this blog will be mine alone. Maybe, if ever I get over my anger with the American-led mismanagement of the world's financial systems and continued mismanagement of US national forests, else find more energy than I now have, I may add more here.

For these other matters, see my:
