Sustainability is another way of looking at economics. Both disciplines focus on the way in which scarce resources are allocated.

For economics, the problem is adjusting the system through which things are distributed. For sustainability, the problem is determining which things within the system can be allowed to disappear in order to make more valuable resources last.
