The Analogies of the "Issues"


The Economy
as:

The Ecosystem


​The ecosystem: "A functional system [economy] which includes the organisms [businesses] of a natural community [people] together with their environment."
​
Ecosystems, a reflection of economies, provide many insightful realities to profit from, that is,
​valuable returns to learn from.

One Absolute Distinction


As there are pockets of ecosystems in the world that exists
(the desert, the forest, the ocean, the river, the backyard),
so it is with economies.
​
And it has been thee endeavor of mankind to seek an understanding of both.
How does one ecosystem affect another?
How does one economy affect thee other?
The land vs. the ocean?


Market Capitalism vs. Islamic Commercial Law?

Market Capitalism vs. "Market" Socialism?


One does not have to look too far back into the past for one example,
nor does one have to look too far ahead.
The reality is. . . one ecosystem is growing faster than the other.

In short, economies, similar to ecosystems, have characteristics, rather, a “nature” of their own.
