We make, by art, in […] orchards and gardens, trees and flowers to come earlier or later than their seasons; and to come up and bear more speedily than by the natural course they do. We make them also by art greater much than their nature: and their fruit greater and sweeter and of differing taste, smell, colour and figure, from their nature. Francis Bacon, New Atlantis, 1627. I think economic life is for teaching our species it has responsibilities to the planet and the rest of nature. Jane Jacobs, The nature of economies, 2000.
