Piacentini<br><\/strong>Welcome to Spire&#8217;s seventh issue! We are glad to announce Leslie Moore as the winner of this year&#8217;s cover design contest. Her linoleum block print &#8220;Hunter&#8217;s Moon&#8221; and her series of paired prints and poems are a bright look into the eccentric wildlife of Maine. As we received submissions this year, I was thrilled by the diversity of the pieces and inspired by the contributors&#8217; engagements with conservation and sustainability in Maine. In an increasingly uncertain world, one filled with dire climate predictions and toxic landscapes, the pieces here are a testament to Mainers commitment to their environment. <br>Click to continue

market economy is introduced into an area, the local population is incentivized to stop contributing to the commons because this economy predominantly rewards the production of goods for sale: \u201cUnder this fundamentally new economic order goods are bought and sold, not shared\u201d (Johannes 1978, p. 356). The free-market economy can increase demand for resources, creating a stronger incentive to put one\u2019s energies into gathering and producing goods for sale. In a free market economy, the exchange of goods is based on supply and demand, with the assumption that more income and goods improve everyone\u2019s quality of life.
