The People s Economics begins by recognising that there is no such thing as one correct economics. Every economic decision, intervenes to change various interfacing systems. The biggest risk humanity faces from economics is that it gets taken over by fewer and fewer powerful elites who restrict research and decision making in economics to their big vested interests getting bigger. The peoples economics aims to be an antidote to this. To stat with by clarifying every diversity of interest around the world which it makes communal sense to want to sustain and value multiply. One way to do this is to go and discover people who have spent all their lives in deeply human contexts and write up the scripts of how they sustain better for people relationships around them or breakthrough with innovations in the sense that holistic entrepreneurial studies focuses on.

Expert subject Economics date February 2009 Unreferenced date February 2008 Network economics refers to business economics that benefit from the network effect . This is when the value of a good or service increases when others buy the same good or service. Examples are website such as EBay , or iVillage where the community comes together and shares thoughts to help the website become a better business organization. In sustainability , network economics refers to multiple professionals architects, designers, or related businesses all working together to develop sustainable products and technologies. The more companies are involved in environmentally friendly production, the easier and cheaper it becomes to produce new sustainable products. For instance, if no one produces sustainable products, it is difficult and expensive to design a sustainable house with custom materials and technology. But due to network economics, the more industries are involved in creating such products, the easier it is to design an environmentally sustainable building. Another benefit of network economics in a certain field is improvement that results from competition and networking within an industry.
