Oikos

"Oikos" is a Greek word that means "house" or "home," and it forms the basis for the term "economy." Originally, it referred to a household or family unit managing resources and responsibilities. Today, "economy" expanded from this idea, referring to the broad system of how societies produce, distribute, and consume goods and services. Essentially, "oikos" highlights the concept of managing resources—whether within a household or a larger community—to sustain well-being and growth.
