while the Circular Flow diagram identified people primarily as workers, consumers and capital owners, the Embedded Economy diagram invites us to acknowledge our many other social and economic identities. In the household, we may be parents, carers and neighbours. In relation to the state, we are members of the public, using public services and paying taxes in return. In the commons, we are collaborative creators and stewards of shared wealth. In society, we are citizens, voters, activists and volunteers.
