Wendell Berry: The Thought of Limits in the Prodigal Age

Wendell Berry, award-winning author, poet and farmer from Port Royal, Kentucky, discusses his vision of an authentic land economy. The present economy, he explains, is rife with constraints and incentives that favor bad work. The consequence of this system is that we waste fertility. In other words, the land, if treated well, will give us so much, but we squander it, sometimes against our better judgment because our current economy favors waste.
