Unbalanced diagram[edit]

This image suggests that economic factors (being smaller than the others) is somehow lesser. It is not a balanced diagram. --96.244.247.130 (talk) 00:25, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My interpretation of this diagram is not based on the relative size of the circles. Rather, to me it depicts that 'economy' is a function of society. Unless we want to include also 'nature's economy' I think this is an accurate way of portraying it. DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 17:27, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Labels[edit]

For greater precision, I would suggest relabeling 'Environment' as 'Biophysical environment'. Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 17:27, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
