"framing everything in terms of the economy is a new thing in human history."
The French thinker Bruno Latour, known for his influential research on the philosophy of science has died aged 75.
“What we need is not only to modify the system of production but to get out of it altogether. We should remember that this idea of framing everything in terms of the economy is a new thing in human history. The pandemic has shown us the economy is a very narrow and limited way of organising life and deciding who is important and who is not important.

Latour is a very insightful philosopher. His book, We Have never been Modern, is an original criticism of the very term modernity.
