  • Abstract in English : An essay on sustainability and new economy. Starting with a holistic analysis of the nature-human ecosystem, the importance of the new information-bases economy for sustainability is elaborated. A part of the conclusion is. Systems thinking is essential to add links to support self-organisation of the Total Human Ecosystem.
