The characteristics of the economic system have been described using diagrams in many different ways. While many of these diagrams serve to 'make a point' they are mostly difficult if not impossible to use to design a system of metrics that will work and be easy to use. Some of the diagrams are very useful to illuminate an issue ... they need to be complemented by something more logical for easy to use metrics.

thinking:
This helps with understanding an ACTIVITY
but is not very helpful for understanding
PROGRESS.
Without a measure of PROGRESS it is
impossible to have a measure for
PERFORMANCE.
