Abstract
Sustainable development and sustainable progress are products of more than economic processes alone.1 They are a result of economic, social, and political processes that interact with and reinforce each other in ways that either hamper or assist the achievement of economic development.2 At the center of these dynamics is the human person, the economic agent, who generates and is served by the economic activity. While engaging in economic activity, this agent does so in a given social and political setting. This setting encompasses a plethora of institutions that facilitate or jeopardize his or her actions. This chapter explores the role that the work of the home has in influencing those sets of institutions that interact with the economy and that also influence the economic activity carried out by the economic agent.
