Economy, work, and livelihood are more diverse than we are used to thinking.
Economy and livelihood are diverse, and some work is invisible. However, the economy is usually talked about as a separate area of activity, subject to its own laws. The economy is described through generalizing terms and simplified models detached from their context. The economy’s connection to the material reality and the well-being of local ecosystems is overlooked in mainstream discussions, concepts, and frameworks. Additionally, discussions about the economy often disregard human experience and non-human agency.
