Processes in the real economy have three nodes: nature. production and consumption. Resources are extracted from nature. processed into products by production and distributed for consumption. Waste from the production and consumption processes is handed back to nature. in this process. nature sufl'ers depletion and is given back pollution. some ofit highly toxic. Much attention has been given to these two major contradictions in real economy). processes: First, that nature is the loser: and second. that class disparities of unequal distribution ofcosts and benefits exist.
