They describe and analyze the activities of people who exist within, but work outside of, the formal employment and redistributive structures of advanced western capitalist economies. These activities include: domestic and household production, do-it-yourself production, maintenance, and other kinds of self-provisioning; bartering and social exchange of goods and services between networks of friends and neighbors; off-the-books work; and deviant work in which persons participate in illegal exchanges of goods and services.

Includes published works of sociologists, economists, anthropologists, politicians, tax analysts, journalists, criminologists, and geographers
