Gibson-Graham argues that current economic theories assume that capitalist
economy contaminates, penetrates and subsumes all non-capitalist economies.
She is in favour of a queer(y)ing economics whereby capitalism is seen
as fluid, "able to penetrate and be penetrated", and therefore able to
incorporate non-capitalist economies. Thereby the economy becomes
a space of difference "where non-capitalist
economic activities are not subordinated to a capitalist unity".
