a: ecosystem ~
b: an interest-bearing bank account
What:
"An ecosystem is like an interest-bearing bank account. Leave it alone, and it will replenish itself. Draw it down to accelerate growth, or slow growth a bit to help it replenish itself faster. Run it down to zero though, and you can go from "decent enough" to "death spiral" overnight. Ecosystems have discontinuities – one can extrapolate linearly... until one no longer can."
