Heather Trexler Remoff, Ph.D.[2002] |
Heather Remoff is an anthropologist with an interest in evolutionary theory. While conducting empirical research for her dissertation, she became convinced that Thomas Malthus had introduced a flawed understanding of human evolution into Darwin's grand theory. A Malthusian emphasis on numbers had caused Darwin to underestimate the importance of economic behavior as a factor of evolution. After receiving her Ph.D. from Rutgers in 1980, she began self-education in economics. Only when she discovered Henry George did all the pieces fall into place. Land is the missing link between economics and biology. Remoff maintains that economics is a bio-social science that is best understood from a Georgist perspective. [continued below...] |
