Chrematistics
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.

The use of 'chrematistics' will enable us to see the difference between sustainable development and the pure destruction of nature to gain money.

TLDU
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
Me: Woah! TLDU!
