This chapter describes the accounts of the Econosphere, Sociosphere and Ecosphere governed by the Second Law of thermodynamics. Applied symmetries of 'production' (i. e., neg-entropy), 'consumption' (i. e., entropy) and capital accumulation (i. e., net-valued low entropy fund available for human consumption). These entropy production accounts permits holistic assessment of sustainability in the following state condition: (a) steady-state, (neg-entropy = entropy), (b) surplus-state, (neg-entropy > entropy) and (c) deficit-state (neg-entropy
