What is real is "what." Whatever can be inquired of potentially or actually is real on some level, whether potential, or actual. Real Economics takes a more particular approach. Not untrue, just particular.

There are various definitions of the word "real," which consequently define what Real Economics is as well. Real Economics is essentially economics with a multi-definitional infusion of realness. Realness can refer to effectiveness, continuity, inclusion, and apparentness. Real Economics therefore, is economics that infuses these elements.

In the What Is Real Economics? page for example, the first quality required by Real Economics is that of "Net Charity" which requires that business owners give 100% of their net-profit to charity. This obviously increases the effectiveness of charity. The fifth quality of charity required by Real Economics is "Short-Term Charity" whereby profits are to be given in under a year of them being earned. This obviously does its part to increase the effectiveness of charity as well.

In the What Is Real Economics? page and more in-depth in the article Prioritization, we touch on the effectiveness of human capabilities such as the capability to assist and innovate, and that from these two capabilities alone, we see that when charity is prioritized to go to humanity over the environment, the charity itself becomes more effective, fulfilling its intended purpose in rectifying both humanity and the environment. Through multiple means, such as the quality of Prioritized Charity, Real Economics doesn't just make charity more effective, but also both humanity and the environment as well.

The aspect of realness as continuity is explored in the article "The Economy Of The Future." The aspect of inclusion is explained in the article The Best Of Both.

Regarding apparentness, two of the five requirements of Real Economics are directly purposed to increased apparentness. The first, "Quantified Charity," requires that charitable acts be quantified per unit of currency donated (i.e. $1 feeds 1 person 1 meal), making the charitable impact not just more apparent but apparent before the donation is even given, inducing the donation to begin with. The second, "Transactional Charity," requires that donations from the proceeds of transactions are to be stated in an apparent manner before or during the transaction. Both of these qualities are originally stated and briefly explained in the What Is Real Economics? page.

Apparentness also takes a front seat as far as the tendency of humanity to prioritize itself over other options, when the options are directly apparent. This is explained in the article Prioritization.

This multi-definitional approach of Real Economics doesn't just produce different standalone dimensions, but also a feedback mechanism amongst these different dimensions as well. For example, by making charity more prioritized, charity henceforth becomes more effective, which itself makes the effects of charity more apparent in the world. Each definition grows the other.
