Economic Thought and Reformation and Reformations

 Sir:

Recently, Gilder has pointed out a NEW Reformation. Perhaps a comparison and contrast might be wise for your atterney congregant.
Gilder says thea John 1;1 is the basic for economics (and computer science and true science).
 It's 'Life After Capitalism'. By capitalism, he doen't mean what we think.
He also says that a professor at Rice has figured out a lot of stuff about mining 'waste' and graphene, and a new Carbon Age is upon us.Oh, McCloskey's work on 'Bourgeois Dignity' opines that @1750 in Northern Europe and England, trading and innovation began to be honored monetaril and rhetorically, ushering in The Great (Something) of 2% annual growth, wars or not, in the West.  This would be a third thing to compare: Reformation, Gilder, McCloskey. (North liked McCloskey's work)
North also liked Gurri's work ('The Revolt of the Public') which says we're in a 'Fifth Wave' of information. The first two were writing and alphabet. So that's a fourth to compare. A fifth would be 'nations as trade routes'. Barzun's comments at the end of 'From Dawn to Decadence' would be wise to consider as #5.More if wanted: Parallel economies, etc.

PS: Berman cathedral medieval 1000-year budgets and Rothshild's children sent to the European capitals. Does oikos nomos economy mean house law, as Aristotle said, politics/statesmanship ishousehold management writ large.
