"This essay outlines an alternative approach that disaggregates flows of money and time devoted to the care of children, other dependents, the maintenance of adult capabilities, the development of adult capabilities, and luxury consumption. This disaggregation is primarily directed at the family/community and government sectors of a domestic economy, setting aside, for the time being, disaggregation of the market sector and any consideration of foreign trade.
