It seemed logical to me that if macroeconomics, mesoeconomics and microeconomics are terms that describe economies of differing scales, that nanoeconomics might be a good term for the smallest 'atom' in the system - the individual person and what goes on in their own mind affecting their economic behaviour. I'm interested because individual artists and cultural workers have been my primary focus of study and their personal livelihood sustainability a focus of my work since 1995.

A quick internet search on the term 'nanoeconomics' returned three main definitions of this term:

“The last few decades have belonged to a certain kind of person with a certain kind of mind—computer programmers who could crank code,lawyers who could craft contracts, MBAs who could crunch numbers.
But the keys to the kingdom are changing hands. The future belongs to a very different kind of person with a very different kind of mind - creators and empathizers, pattern recognizers and meaning makers.
These people—artists, inventors, designers, storytellers, caregivers, consolers, big picture thinkers—will now reap society’s richest rewards and share its greatest joys.”
