Description: human society arranged as an ecosystem
"In an ecosystem, success can be defined simply as survival and failure as death. In complex society, failure can, of course, result in death. But in an economic sense, failure is the inability to create value—which is to say a failure to engage in some productive activity that others both find desirable enough to exchange something else of lesser value. If success is, in some sense, creating value for others in exchange for something more valuable, then the whole system is iterative at root – binary (either success or failure) – and the extended system of interdependency generates prosperity and diversity in so far as people do a good job of fulfilling the desires of other people in mutual benefit. A system of prices, profits and loss is a measure of this success and failure. Profit is an indicator that value has been created. Loss is an indicator that value has been lost or destroyed. At the system level, the entire edifice of successful means-ends behaviors can result in tremendous dynamism and human flourishing."
