Enormous scope and capability is called for in making a living economy. It can be organised better if we see it as a dance of capability across four zones of reach. The narrative of zones of reach starts here.
A fundamental dimension of making a living economy is the remaking on the heart-mind, so that humans can stand in truly altered, generous, well founded relationships with humans and with the more-than-human, in deep time. We speak of this as 'care work'.
The materiality of the real economy is enormously complex and diverse, ranging from wild nature, through so-called domesticated nature (the 'second nature' of 'the economy', to the weird sphere of digital means. We weave all this in relationship together, through practices of subsistence work, within the doughnut.
Here we engage the field of formación work - capabilities to intentionally know, to vision, to communicate, to organise: to choreograph and dance a living economy.
Here we engage the problematic and profoundly intractable zone of relationships 'over the horizon', in many future times and present regions. This is the field of stewarding work.
