Would it not be better if we were to treat the economy as something made and remade by people themselves, rather than as an impersonal machine? \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The object of a human economy is the reproduction of human beings and of whatever sustains life in general. Such an economy would express human variety in its local particulars as well as the interests of all humanity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The editors have assembled here a citizen's guide to building a human economy.
