b'We will not be made whole, or find peace, until we reconnect to one another, to the places where we live and to the land.I am contemplating these two phrases:Healing pulses of capital and peaceable mobilizations of people.Reconnecting to one another, to the places where we live and tothe land. Taken together, they stop me in my tracks. Their informality belies their significance. I did not start this notebook looking for them. (Or did I?) They express more than an ethos. They describe that which I believe is most real, and they evoke ideals towards which I aspire.No thought experiment about a thing called nurture capital can reasonably (or, for that matter, unreasonably) be undertaken without evoking Wendell Berry, who has forgotten more than I shall ever know about much that is in this notebookpretty much everything but the concepts of financial intermediation, which we are about to get to and which bringing him up only pushes deeper into these pages. That cannot be helped. Just as war is too important to leave to the generals and finance is too important to leave to the financiers, culture (which includes economicsit should not be the other way around) 12'
