History, Economics, Environment

While, in the predominant Christian doctrine, the Salvation of the individual Human Soul is redemption from the punishment of the species, it is more immediately a liberation from corporeality.  But, then, it is, thus, a liberation from all Corporeality, not only that of the individual, and that of the Human species, but of the entire world.  Accordingly, abstraction from any physical Environment is a characteristic of the concept of Economics derived from the Christian concept of Human History.  Thus, in the latter, environmental influences are only extrinsic to cardinal Economic formulations, e. g. abundance or scarcity of a natural resource, which becomes intrinsic only when theologized, e. g. as a medium of divine reward or punishment.  In sharp contrast, insofar as Human History is an episode in Natural History, Human society is part of the universal ecosystem, so Economics is inherently Ecological.  Hence, the Evolutionist concept of Economics is likewise Ecological.  Thus, for example, current debates about the relation between Human society and Climate Change have their roots in these differing concepts of the relation between the Human species and the non-Human Natural world, and, thus, in the differing concepts of History, with the question of the legitimacy of the regulation of some industries notably at stake.
