Abstract: | The dialog on scarcity in the Fall 1995 issue of the Forum exemplifies the problems inherent in cross-disciplinary communication.
Careful analysis of this dialog between Peter Danner and M. Douglas Meeks reveals an equivocal use of the crucial term in
question: “scarcity.” By pointing out these various shades of meaning and demonstrating the negative effects of linguistic
confusion on the Danner-Meeks dialog, this article seeks to show how clarity and precision in the use of the term “scarcity”
can open important avenues for further interdisciplinary reflection on this fundamental economic principle. |
