An alternative way of looking at the world is conveyed in this figure:
- Environmental laws are 'inevitable' - they are the laws of nature. The environment nurtures, supports and makes possible.
- Society has a mixture of instinctive and learned/cultural laws.
- Economy has rules and practices which are totally 'invented' by society. So why do so many regard Economic laws as 'inevitable' (globalisation, etc) but Environmental laws and limits as manipulatable?
