present realities. And do not forget that
although the present is extremely small in
duration, as reality it is a composition that
combines components of the old world and
new world, that the interaction between them
can take the form of struggle, of mutual
rejection, of mutual rejection, of
collaboration, cooperation and many other
forms.
- The subjective charge, be it large or small,
still present in the personality of the
combatants (researchers);
- Other factors whose number by far exceeds
the number of above mentioned.
6.2. The place and role of the real ecologic
and of the real economic within the real ecoeco
mega-system
As already mentioned, the eco-economy, the
eco-eco mega-system represents the unity and
interaction between economy and the natural
environment. The true knowledge and the
more complex understanding requires further
clarification of the place that each of the two
components occupies and of the role that the
two fulfil within the mega-system.
This challenge is particularly topical also
because of knowledge, of the
means of knowledge and interpretation of the
mega-system continues to be divided into
different areas.
The most vivid, most heated controversy take
place between environmentalists and
economists. There is a very successful
description and presentation of the dialogue
that occurs between these researchers in the
famous book by Lester Brown – Ecoeconomy
(16). According to him:
- Environmentalists consider economy as
being part of the environmental system;
- Economists consider the environment as
part of the economy;
- Environmentalists are the first ones
concerned with the limits of the natural
environment, of the finite character of the
planet and of resources;
Economists tend not to recognize such
constraints;

- Environmentalists, following the signs of
nature, think in terms of cycles;
- Economists prove a rather linear or
curvilinear thinking;
- Economists have great confidence in the
market;
- Environmentalists often fail to accurately
assess the market.
