Summary/Abstract: This special issue addresses peoples’ economies and the way in which individuals, families and communities find their own ways in dealing with the constraints of neoliberal capitalism. We present six original studies from young researchers working on North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Greece, and Poland, with an emphasis on household economy, production, economic life in rural and urban settings and migration. Sexual workers, illicit tobacco growers, self-enterprising families in rural tourism, food producers, well off urbanites imagining more comfortable life in romantic villages and vendors on the market place invest in their entrepreneurial venture something, if not everything that can be defined as their family capital: labour, land, house and money.
