Chrematistics
-
The science of wealth; the science, or a branch of
the science, of political economy. -
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. -
one of the coolest words ever. often used in highly [technical] [documents] by very skilled experts with cross [discipline] training, e.g. technology and law.
