Household Enterprise Economy

This paper introduces the Household Enterprise Economy (HEE), a framework in which wealth is anchored at the household level through decentralized, enterprise-based production. While corporatisation led to a “Great Consolidation,” shifting Western economies from widespread self-employment to institutional dependence, the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) enables emerging economies to leapfrog this model. By treating the household as a high-productivity, capital-compounding unit, nations can enable broad-based wealth distribution. The paper argues that productivity gains at the household level generate non-linear wealth compounding, reversing historical trends of capital concentration. This paper presents a conceptual framework and illustrative scenarios rather than empirical forecasts.
