Answer:
It is important to consider where individuals and society derive their well-being. Many people think that the health of the economy is paramount and that individual and social well-being derives from that. This is not true. Whilst the economy exists to support the well-being of society, it is still only a subordinate component of society. The economy is entirely dependent on natural resources to sustain it, as well as the energy of people to drive it. Society is also a part of the environment and is reliant on the well-being of the environment for life itself.
