Scott Nearing (August 6, 1883 – August 24, 1983) was an American radical economist, educator, writer, political activist, and advocate of simple living.
Biography
The early years
Nearing was born in Morris Run, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, the heart of the state's coal country. Nearing's grandfather, Winfield Scott Nearing, had arrived in Tioga County with his family in 1864, at the age of 35, when he accepted a job as a civil and mining engineer. Before the end of the year he had assumed full control of mining operations as the superintendent of the Morris Run Coal Company, a position of authority which he held for the remainder of his working life. An intense, driven man, Scott Nearing's grandfather studied science and nature, practiced gardening and carpentry, and regularly received crates of books from New York City, amassing a large personal library. In his memoirs written late in his life, Scott Nearing would recall his grandfather as one of the four most influential figures in his life. Nearing's upbringing was that of a young bourgeois, his mother employing a part-time tutor and two Polish servants to clean the gleaming white house atop a hill overlooking the town. Scott's brother recalled that the citizens of Morris Run had treated the handsome and intelligent Scott "the way they would treat the heir to the nobleman.... They all treated him with awe."
"During the whole period of written history, it is not the workers but the robbers who have been in control of the world"
"War drags human beings from their tasks of building and improving, and pushes them en masse into the category of destroyers and killers."
"Your government is no longer mine."
"War is an attempt of one group to impose its will upon another group by armed violence."
"Do the best that you can in the place where you are, and be kind."
"We believed it was better to pay as you go than it was to pay your bills by borrowing and laying up debts for another day. To pay as you go, that policy is a safer business policy and a saner business policy, and we thought it was a saner national policy."
"So what's your gain, what's your advantage? (with living a life within the system)
Well, for two or three weeks you get to go to Maine or Vermont on vacation. Then it's back to the slave pen, back to the whip, back to the tyranny of doing that which in itself is really not worth my doing"

Greg Joly | Scott Nearing's Thoughts on Socialism
Greg Joly is an independent scholar who has lived in Jamaica Vermont since 1990. Due to his on-site nearness to people and documents related to the Nearing's time in Vermont, he has been able to amass a quality of information concerning the Nearing's sojourn in the Green Mountain state that might otherwise be improbable. He and his wife have homesteaded off-grid for the past 2 decades just seven "as the crow flies" miles from the Nearing's original Forest Farm, thus fostering a familiarization with the demands of Vermont homesteading. For the past 2 decades, Joly has been a Steward at the Good Life Center and has also served as its Chair Person of the Board.

Biography
The early years
Nearing was born in Morris Run, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, the heart of the state's coal country. Nearing's grandfather, Winfield Scott Nearing, had arrived in Tioga County with his family in 1864, at the age of 35, when he accepted a job as a civil and mining engineer. Before the end of the year he had assumed full control of mining operations as the superintendent of the Morris Run Coal Company, a position of authority which he held for the remainder of his working life. An intense, driven man, Scott Nearing's grandfather studied science and nature, practiced gardening and carpentry, and regularly received crates of books from New York City, amassing a large personal library. In his memoirs written late in his life, Scott Nearing would recall his grandfather as one of the four most influential figures in his life. Nearing's upbringing was that of a young bourgeois, his mother employing a part-time tutor and two Polish servants to clean the gleaming white house atop a hill overlooking the town. Scott's brother recalled that the citizens of Morris Run had treated the handsome and intelligent Scott "the way they would treat the heir to the nobleman.... They all treated him with awe."
