To a large degree the prefix we put in front of ‘economy’ reflects our bias. Some may talk about the circular economy or the inclusive economy or the red economy. These conceptualisations of the economy are useful to provide specific focus to discussions and to communities, emphasising certain aspects of development that may need additional focus. However, in reality, there is only one economy. And our attempts to redefine the economy reflect the single idea that the economy we have does not provide for our social and environmental needs.
