We describe systems of BIOLOGY as “ECOLOGY”. Or in the case of HUMANS, “psychology”, “sociology” and even “politics” and“ECONOMICS”.

René PASSET : ‘L’économique et le vivant’’ 1983

I would like to put in order a few things about these 4 common concepts: Biology, Humans, Ecology, and Economics.

Ecology studies relationships between the living beings and the organic (& non organic) environments they live in.

Biology studies the living beings.

Humans are a species of living beings.

Economics is about human administration of (living & non-living’) assets and ressources.

From an ecological point of view, there is a natural order of things :

The Human Activities belong to the Biological sphere. And the Economics are a sub-system of the human activities, which themselves are a sub-system of the Biological sphere. (graph)

Human beings belong to the Biological Sphere, and obey its laws.

Economy obey to Laws which are foreign to the laws of the Biological sphere. And Economics now are driving and ruling the world.

Therefore, The Biological Sphere is placed under the dependance of one of its sub-system !

Economy is a mental system based on Beliefs which are disconnected from the natural order of things. There are other (supernatural) Beliefs which also are, by definition, disconnected from the natural order of things. Economic ‘’invisible hand’’ and other supernatural Beliefs are related. The problem comes when these various Beliefs (which can also have ‘’incestuous’’ relations : one coming to strengthen the other) come to have a significant negative impact on the Biosphere. The Biosphere being what maintains the living beings (including humans) alive.

Economics which are not working within the natural order of things should be banned as a criminal offence to the future generations.
