Both economy and ecology come from the Greek word Oikos, house/household. The NOMOS of the Oikos and the LOGOS of the Oikos both involve limits as well as rules and obligation through time for a household… this essay is an excellent articulation of that concept!
Thanks! I think we need to think of this connection more, especially in therms of “limits”. I published something about it Monday and have another coming out today on Edward Abbey, Chesterton, Pope Francis and why Usury is mentioned in Laudato Si
Very interesting but flawed article. You keep quoting scripture but keep emphasizing everything but GOD. "I am the Lord Your God...there is no other". THIS INCLUDES EARTH WORSHIP. Put God first in your Life and in all that you do Modernist.
I'm going to disagree with your interpretation of this article. You seem to have been to busy criticizing the work to comprehend the spirt of the work. It was about stewardship. God's sacred trust. There is nothing modern about it. It is as ancient as the Word itself.
I would agree that is what it means ans good stewardship is what God wants. I am just reminding everyone the Modernist problem is excluding God and remembering this life is about getting to heaven not blessing pieces of an iceburg. Globalist Ecowarrior mentality is a modernist and human centric error. Steward the land as God desires us to, just dont make an Idol out if it like Francis did.
My father, age 94, shared a memory of his Norwegian immigrant farmer father repairing the shoes for their family of 8 children. He had been apprenticed to a shoemaker in Norway, and those skills came in handy during the depression.
Thanks for the compliments! Good on you for learning to repair your own shoes; that’s a lot more than most people will do.
You’re right to point out the link between familiarity with the things we own and appreciation for the skills our grandparents needed to upkeep them. Like a lot of things, you only fully apply something once you know firsthand the effort that goes into it.

Thanks for the etymology lesson! Interesting to see how the terms have so much in common.
