On Metronomics

PAN METRON ARISTON

All things in moderation. For some reason the translation is as unsatisfying as the saying itself. On a personal level there are indeed points for which excess in the form of PATHOS (passion) and EROS (unbound love) may be called for. Not so for our OIKO-NOMIA (economics: the sustainement and distribution of resources in our homestead).

Modern economics have diverged quite drastically from where the ancient Greek derivation of the word was leading. That is why I felt we need to introduce a new term or concept or discipline to guide back economics to its roots: Metro-nomics.
