Transfigured plight

Environment and Development Economics, 1996, vol. 1, issue 03, pages 376-380

Abstract: Our environment is complex, but it is understandable through rational investigation, and it is not to be feared. So wrote Titus Lucretius Carus of the nature of things some thirty human lifetimes ago not so long, really. About species evolution Lucretius thought much, guessed well, and worried little. About microparasitic evolution he knew nothing. Would he have feared it? Should we fear it now?
