In a speech last May, Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers reflected 
on what people are calling the New Economy by saying, "... if there is 
one fundamental change at its heart, it must be the move from an economy 
based on the production of physical goods to an economy based on the 
production and application of knowledge."

So, what are the ancient and new patterns which depend on the production 
and application of knowledge?

That's part of the question we will explore in the Summer 2003(deadline 
April 1)issue of the Permaculture Activist Magazine addressing the theme 
of "Traditional Knowledge: New & Old".

Possible subjects include:

Bioregionalism
Indigenous cultural practices of:
   agriculture,
   fishing (note, too, that we seek stories on Aquaculture for the fall 
2003 issue - June 15 deadline),
   hunting,
   medicine,
   governance,
   architecture,
   economics,
   education (we also need articles on the subject of education for the 
winter 2003 issue - Sept 20 deadline)
   technology, etc.
Modern variants of the above
Wild-crafting
Cosmology
Emerging new "Traditions" and trends

. . . and so forth.
