In good times, in bad times, humanity is in the economy whether it is good times or bad times.

Economy is driven and shaped by a symphony orchestra composed of all types of good and bad motivational energies, one type of good energy would be making things that help people out of misery, another type of bad energy would be greed.

The understanding of humanity in economy comes down to seeing how people are making their living and why are they doing what they have been doing to make their living.

Humanity is manifested in the how and why which then drive and shape the economy.
