Family-based Production
Family-based production is an economic model describing a system where families are self-sufficient. In this system, families own their capital goods and the goods they produce, but they engage in little to no trade with others. This concept is often used as a foundational element in economic models to contrast with more complex systems involving markets and firms, such as capitalism. For instance, in visual models of capitalism, it can be represented as the innermost component of a nested structure.
