This is an era of explorations into space. Of Sputniks and Explorers. Of photographic cameras behind the Moon.

Other explorers of space, perhaps more dauntless though less spectacular, have developed the theory of perpetual creation of matter, through the continuous emergence of hydrogen atoms out of nothing, and have described the flight of the galaxies, horrified of each other, away into space.

Several other spaces are being explored. One of them, of more immediate concern, is the economy — the real nature of the economy in a contemporary society. The nature of the economy is usually covered, like the ground in autumn by dead leaves, by the dead words that were fresh and adequate at a previous season.
