*Mar*The 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.
------------------------------
*Marks & Grade*
- *Content / Originality*: 9 / 10
- *Clarity / Expression*: 7 / 10
- *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*.
------------------------------
👉 Would you like me to prepare a *polished edited version* of this
essay—keeping your original voice but improving clarity, structure, and
flow—so it reads more smoothly while retaining its force?
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?
