A Bridge between Two Worlds
Amidst ongoing debates regarding the pros and cons of Advanced Placement Human Geography (APHG) for the field of geography, this article asks whether it has been good for the discipline in the United States. The authors argue that APHG has strengthened U.S. geography because it has been remarkably effective at building bridges between high school and college geography educators, providing professional development opportunities for K–12 teachers, …
Interactive online tools for enhancing student learning experiences in remote sensing
The rapid growth in Information and Communications Technologies usage in higher education has provided immense opportunities to foster effective student learning experiences in geography. In particular, remote sensing lends itself to the creative utilization of multimedia technologies. This paper presents a case study of a remote sensing computer aided learning (RSCAL) program, which was developed in Australia to facilitate student active engagem…
Critiquing environmental management in indigenous Australia
The notion of community participation in sustainable environmental management is well documented, but applications between environmental scientists and indigenous Australians are less known. Many indigenous Australians are socially and culturally marginalized, and agencies debate over appropriate designs for collaborative, cross‐cultural environmental programmes that will alleviate marginalization. This paper presents two case studies from northe…
Knowledge, ignorance, and the limits of the price system
In “Popper, Weber, and Hayek: The Epistemology and Politics of Ignorance,” Jeffrey Friedman argues that markets are superior to democratic institutions because the price system doesn't require people to make the kind of difficult counterfactual judgments that are necessary in order to evaluate public‐policy alternatives. I contend that real‐world markets require us to make all kinds of difficult counterfactual judgments, that the nature of these …
Imaginary goods and Keynesian Kaleidics
In his reply to my critical book review, “Don't Shoot the Messenger: Caldwell's Hayek and the Insularity of the Austrian Project,” Bruce Caldwell criticizes my account of Carl Menger's “imaginary goods,” and rejects the line of reasoning I advanced in drawing Keynesian conclusions from Hayekian premises. But Caldwell's proposed methodology for assessing the significance of “imaginary goods” in advanced market economies is ill conceived; and my pa…
Don't shoot the messenger
Readers looking for an articulate, well‐informed exposition of Hayek's multifaceted intellectual achievement will be pleased with Bruce Cald‐well's new book, Hayek's Challenge: An Intellectual Biography of F. A. Hayek. Readers interested in a more critical consideration of Hayek's ideas, or in their ability to withstand cross‐examination from the positions Hayek himself criticized, are less likely to be satisfied. But even for the latter group, C…
From Hayek to Keynes
G.L.S. Shackle stood at the historic crossroads where the economics of Hayek and Keynes met. Shackle fused these opposing lines of thought in a macroeconomic theory that draws Keynesian conclusions from Austrian premises. In Shackle's scheme of thought, the power to imagine alternative courses of action releases decision makers from the web of predictable causation. But the spontaneous and unpredictable choices that originate in the subjective an…
An ultra‐Keynesian strikes back
In real‐world markets, individual intentions cannot be brought into perfect harmony before decisions are taken. Choices made without this pre‐ordering—choices made in ignorance of one another—produce unwanted outcomes. It is this absence of coordination among plans, not centralized banking, that is the primary cause of macroeconomic market failure. Steven Hor‐witz's free‐banking alternative would aggravate the collective‐action problems inherent …
Solidarity, objectivity, and the human form of life
Reason, objectivity, and human nature are now suspect ideas. Among postmodern thinkers, Richard Rorty has advanced an especially forceful critique of these notions. Drawing partly on Wittgenstein's philosophy of language, Rorty contends that objectivity is no more than a metaphysical name for intersubjective agreement, and that “human nature” is an empty category, there being nothing beneath history and culture. Wittgenstein himself, however, rec…
History, Necessity, and Rational Choice Theory
The main body of rational-choice literature aims to deduce the necessary consequences that result from the interaction of rational agents. In contrast, this paper shows how small accidents of history can determine the character of social life among even perfectly rational decision makers. The paper describes those circumstances in which the structure of interaction is determinant, so that random events are averaged away, and those circumstances i…
The Politics of Transparent and Opaque Communities
This article offers a game-theoretic interpretation of the logic underlying Rousseau's contrast between the peaceful interaction that is possible when human intentions are transparent and the social strife that results when people become opaque to one another. The strategic implications of transparent and opaque intentions provide the context for an analysis of amour de soi games played by the rational egoists of standard game theory, amour-propr…
Capitalism, coordination, and Keynes
In the ideal market of general equilibrium theory, choices are made in full knowledge of one another, and all expectations are fulfilled. This pre‐harmonization of individual plans does not occur in real‐world markets where decisions must be taken in ignorance of one another. The Austrian school grants this, but claims that real‐world price systems are nonetheless effective in coordinating saving and investment decisions, which are motivated by d…
The moral economy
Neoclassical and Austrian economic theory lend support to a conception of laissez‐faire capitalism as an ideal scheme of cooperation in which individual decisions are harmonized, and income is distributed according to one's productive contribution. Keynes's critique of this conception has an often‐overlooked moral dimension, according to which the coordination problems that trouble real‐world market economies produce an arbitrary and inequitable …
Reason and Will in Contemporary Social Contract Theory
Reason and Will in Contemporary Social Contract Theory
Social contract theorists rely upon the idea of agreement as a framework for justification, but differ in their characterization of the parties to agree ment. Some contract theorists, such as Buchanan and Gauthier, begin with willful agents who are moved solely by their own subjective ends. Rawls, on the other hand, imagines an agreement reached by parties who are moved exclusively by impersonal concerns, which make no reference at all to the par…
Misreading Keynes
In the concluding chapter of The General Theory, Keynes offers a vision of socialized investment, which, according to Allan Meltzer, informs Keynes's entire analysis and critique of laissez‐faire capitalism. Roger Garrison adds a critical dimension to Meltzer's interpretation, contending that Keynes's vision of the “comprehensive socialisation of investment,” with its zero rate of interest, is Utopian, thereby weakening Keynes's case against real…
Revegetated Sand Mining Areas, Swamp Wallabies and Remote Sensing
Mining of mineral sands has taken place on North Stradbroke Island for over 40 years. Revegetation of mined areas creates a mosaic of seral classes. For a mine site in the northwest of the island, Landsat Thematic Mapper data were used successfully to map the distribution of seven seral classes resulting from mining rehabilitation. Faecal pellet counts were used to assess usage of these areas and surrounding natural forest by swamp wallabies, Wal…
Citizenship and Ontology in the Liberal State
Charles Taylor has developed a powerful critique of neo-Kantian liberalism and its ontological presupposition, the unencumbered self. According to Taylor, the trouble with deontological liberalism is that its neutral state is incapable of promoting the patriotic virtue that is necessary for the maintenance of liberty. This article responds to Taylor's critique by showing how the citizens of an ideal liberal state acquire a ready willingness to me…
Nearest Neighbour Analysis and Wedge‐Tailed Shearwater Burrow Patterns on Heron and Masthead Islands, Great Barrier Reef
Heron and Masthead Islands in the Capricorn Group of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park support major nesting colonies of the wedge‐tailed shearwater. The distribution pattern of shearwater nesting burrows was established for particular habitats on both islands by means of a nearest neighbour analysis. Areas of Pisonia grandis forest had the highest burrow density and near‐random distribution patterns for burrows while the island fringes had the …
Integrating Landsat and Land Systems for Cover Maps in Southern Inland Queensland
Digital analysis of Landsat data is applied to up‐dating land cover maps for the Goondiwindi district of southern, inland Queensland. The imagery was paired with climax cover maps obtained from land systems reports with analysis conducted separately for each of three climax cover types (open forest, woodland and open woodland). Computer classification using this approach produced readily interpreted and reliable results. This work demonstrates th…
