1 Berry referred to the Great Economy as the "Kingdom of God." Specifically, human beings exist within order, whereby the order is greater and increasingly complex than we can understand. This economy is perceptible and imperceptible, unknown and known, understandable and unintelligible. Therefore, it is the eventual condition of people's experience and the real-world questions originating from their experience.
2 The Human Economy is also crucial, and the article refers to it as a "little economy." Despite being somewhat of a good economy, the problematic part appears to be that a given economy can never easily commend the terms of its achievement. Given the moment human beings wish to trust that they are the exclusive authors of certainty, that certainty is always relative. The value judgments are subjective. It can be difficult to claim that a Human Economy might be wrong.
