Nomads adapt their strategies to the immediate situation. Nomads evolve in an ever changing environment. They don't try to control their environment, they don't attempt to domestify what is new, foreign or different.
Classical economics is typically sedentary because it believes in universals
and permanent laws. The paradox, the
different, the irrational
cannot be accounted by economic science and is thus systematically undermined
or forgotten.
Nomadic microsciences in contrast do
not pretend to be universal and all
encompassing, they are local and
situational. Urban
planning, for instance, requires the use of a multiplicity
of micro knowledges and information.
The art of planning is to go from one
dimension to the other
in order to understand the context
globally.
