Abstract
The concept of sustenance organization, as originally proposed by Amos Hawley (1950:178), refers to “the complex of functional interrelationships by which men live.” Sustenance organization is the totality of social organization that governs the adaptation of populations to their environments and involves considerably more than the economic relationships in which populations engage. It encompasses the family, nonprofit organizations, and other entities outside of the pricing system. Gibbs and Martin (1959:4) emphasize this point, “whereas economists are ordinarily interested in the interrelationships of such variables as supply, demand, cost, and prices within a given sustenance organization, ecologists are concerned with the characteristics of the structure itself.”
