Repeating bad econmic mistakes becomes a habit of learned desperation in Sidmouth Devon

Economic growth is a mindless process. It takes little brainpower, just repeat what you are doing with larger numbers. Economic development is a creative process requiring a serious rethink of where the economy has arrived and where it is going. Usually development forces come from outside a community. So what does one call it when Sidmouth plans to cut down the lovely trees in a beautiful park on a hill overlooking the coastal waters and then demolish a grand old building a valuable piece of it's that housed its bureaucracy of local government servants then move them to a new site and new building, and fill up the old site with dwellings.

Needless to say the old building was given to the community by someone who thought it was a way to preserve the site for posterity. But, who new what cronyism and local government could do to that vision. We witness it, but we can only vote with our numbers.

We forsee people unrelated to the original donor making a lot of money, but that is not growth nor development. It's corrupt activity and we should have a name for it. Why is our vocabulary about economics so poor. It's because the words in the language were invented by governments and local business, not by the admirer of appropriate action with regard to the use of a cummunities resources. Would the word be communism? No. Would the would be capitalism? No. What would it be?

It would be stewardship. Let our economy be stewarded in a way that describes what is good, fair, wholesome and benign.

You have to see the site to determine whether its growth or development or shere lunacy!

Yes! It is shere lunacy and should not be credited with the positive attribute of being economic growth or development. It is neither.

It's not even creative destruction. Perhaps it is a vulgar expression of cronyism or corruption!

The Internet User's Best Kept Secret

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
