The art of dealing with money; chremat - money (gr.). What the so called Economics of today ought to be named. Today Economy is a word with diametrically opposed definitions and uses. The original meaning is "to take care of scarce resources", also called husbandry. It has come to describe a system where a value is only appointed the scarce resources if they have been used up or destroyed and turned into money, and thus turned into numbers. This way there seems to be a contradiction between Economy and Ecology. A contradiction that only exists because there is officially no word for the handling of money.
