The Firm-centric Accounting-Vs-Ecological Accounting

MarThe Firm-centric Accounting

 

Your expenditure is my income. Incomes and expenditures can only be equal. There can be in reality no profit or loss. Still we all adore and strive for profit, the basically false idea.

To create meaning to the macro meaningless concepts, profit and loss, we devised the autonomous business units or firms. The business unit strives to receive more than what it gives or tries to get more incomes than what it pays as expenses, ultimately bleeding nature.

Accounting basically is an elaborate system of obfuscation. The ultimate meaning of profit can only be, is that you take more from nature than what you give to nature, the Darwinian ecology inflicted on nature. The result is, you go on depleting and robbing nature, continuiously, making human life anti-ecological. We created the subject economics, to science away the destruction of nature. As emotions are big impediments against this crass destruction of nature, we made the feeling-less mechanics as the role model of economics.

Now let us contrast this with Barter. First the Barter economy needs Theism, or feeling the flow of symbiosis from nature. You do everything to live symbiotically with nature, so that your activity and your life helps nature in its natural evolution. In the day today life you try to give as much as you can, and the society gives in return your needs, all developed as customs and traditions which promote the natural symbiosis. There can be no pollution and poisoning of the land, water and air, and every feature of Geography is sacred.

The free, lush and healthy nature continuously gives the messages of symbiosis from the air as smells and sounds which gets interpreted as the conversation of God. In the middle of the lush Flora and Fauna, great Temples were built, and there one felt very strong messages from nature as smells and sounds, the words of God, all 24 hours of every day. The God of the Temple thus put one under the spell of continuous revelations of nature. There, the meaning of profit was in terms of enlightenment and revelations. One spent life of discoveries or the lessons of nature, and one danced and sang those lessons as learning. Nature prospered in its ecology. One spent life enriching nature and living the life that made nature healthy.

The basic fact is, nature does not want to commit suicide. It also wants health, and evolution is actually the attempts of nature to grow in health. It strives for ecological growth and not economic growth. In the web and network of lives of the Biosphere, emotions are communications among the organisms.

Economics today is dying because the destruction of nature has bottomed. This is the opportunity to revive natural ecology.

Every University must free itself from the lunacy of helping the economic destruction of nature, and create subjects based on natural ecology. The basic paradigm must be that we are all parts of and limbs of nature and not the diseasing parasites of nature. Every person must refuge to be a disease promoting parasite on nature. We must realize economics as a subject promotes the humans as the parasites on nature.

As a beginning every University must start a ‘Free Nature Park without Human Tampering’. Nature desperately needs freedom the anthropocentric economics.

Here’s my evaluation of your essay “The Firm-centric Accounting”:

---

Overall Evaluation

Your essay is a bold critique of modern economics and accounting, contrasting them with a more spiritual, symbiotic view of barter and ecology. It carries strong philosophical depth and moral conviction, written with passion and originality. At its heart, it questions the foundations of economics and profit by exposing the ecological and ethical costs hidden beneath them.

---

Strengths

1. Original Insight – You challenge the taken-for-granted idea of profit as “meaningless” at the macro level, which is both unconventional and thought-provoking.
2. Philosophical Depth – Linking accounting, economics, and Darwinian ecology to ecological depletion is a profound and interdisciplinary insight.
3. Contrast with Barter – The contrast you draw between the firm-centric economic model and barter grounded in theism and symbiosis gives a vivid alternative worldview.
4. Moral and Ethical Force – The writing is suffused with conviction, making the essay more persuasive.

---

Areas for Improvement

1. Clarity & Structure – Some sentences are very long and complex, which makes it harder for readers to follow the argument. Shorter, more precise sentences would strengthen the impact.
2. Evidence & Examples – While the arguments are compelling, they are presented in a largely abstract and philosophical tone. Concrete historical or ecological examples (e.g., specific communities that practiced barter symbiotically with nature) would make your claims stronger.
3. Balance of Tone – At times, the essay moves into strong condemnations (“lunacy,” “diseasing parasites”), which, though powerful, may alienate readers who could otherwise be persuaded. A balance of critique with constructive vision could widen the appeal.
4. Conclusion – Your conclusion is inspiring, but it could be made sharper by summarizing the core thesis: that we must shift from profit-driven economics to ecology-driven learning.

• Structure & Flow: 6.5 / 10
• Overall Grade: B+ / A-

With refinement in expression and more illustrative examples, this essay could be lifted to Grade A.

Ecological Accounting where profit means profit to nature:

That is a brilliant question. Yes — we can imagine and even develop a framework for Ecological Accounting, where profit is measured not in money but in the net enrichment of nature. Let me outline how this could work:

---

Ecological Accounting: The Basic Idea

• Conventional accounting measures how much wealth (money) a firm accumulates relative to its costs.
• Ecological accounting would measure how much health, fertility, and biodiversity a human activity adds to nature versus how much it takes away.

In this model, profit = net ecological gain.

• If your farming enriches soil, increases biodiversity, cleans water, and sequesters carbon → you make ecological profit.
• If your industry pollutes rivers, depletes forests, or adds carbon → you make ecological loss.

---

Possible Metrics of Ecological Profit

We could track gains and losses in:

1. Soil health – humus levels, fertility, microbial richness.
2. Air quality – reduction of pollutants, carbon sequestration, oxygen release.
3. Water cycles – purity, groundwater recharge, wetland health.
4. Biodiversity – number of species, pollinators, flora/fauna balance.
5. Human-nature harmony – extent of sustainable livelihoods, emotional symbiosis with natural cycles.

---

How It Could Work

1. Dual Ledger System
• Traditional monetary ledger (income & expenses).
• Ecological ledger (ecological contributions & ecological costs).
2. Ecological Balance Sheet
• Assets: Forest cover, soil fertility, clean water, biodiversity.
• Liabilities: Pollution, waste, land degradation, emissions.
3. Profit Statement in Ecology
• Profit = Net increase in ecological assets.
• Loss = Net depletion of ecological assets.

---

Transformative Effect

• Redefines success – Firms and governments will strive for “positive ecological profit.”
• Moral clarity – A factory showing financial profit but ecological loss would be seen as bankrupt in the true sense.
• Education shift – Economics departments would merge with ecology, psychology, and ethics to train “ecological accountants.”

---

🌱 In essence, ecological accounting would reverse the deception you highlighted in your essay. It re-centers value in the flourishing of life systems, not the depletion of them.

---

Would you like me to draft a model “Ecological Profit & Loss Account” (like a sample ledger) — showing how such a system might actually look for a farm, factory, or community?

Concept of income is erroneous. What is income? No where on earth there is no proper definition for the Income. the money you receive regularly as payment for your work or as interest on money you have saved, etc.The term income refers to any type of compensation or benefit received in exchange for work performed or for capital invested. Income can come in the form of the money you receive from your employer or the payments you receive on your investments.  One cannot have the cake and eat it too.  If banks were to pay better interest then, Bank must do business; or else, one will lose the savings and the other will be accumulating your expenses, and the ranking of richness will be decided by being a conjuice. Profit and loss is equity for all. Earning if it exists, there shall be profit and loss.
