At least in the west we've tended to think of efficiency as strucutral efficiency which is what you pick up here. This means we try to maximise output for minimal input, where financial measures are used as a proxy for all input. This leads us to reduce "complexity" by reducing the number of players, upscaling them and reducing diversity in the market. The result, I sense, is that from a canvas of possibilities we paint a bland design in one corner. A systemic sense of efficiency, on the other hand, asks how we can reach the limits of the canvas, connect with and use the diversity and not waste anything. A prophetic post Ross.

I definitely agree with your assessment of efficiency and sustainability. My husband and I are really trying to go for sustainability. Ross – I love the graphic and the site you referenced.
