Devastated by the ongoing climate and biodiversity crises, humanity is seeking a way out. For this, the current system where profit maximization, consumption, and human dominance over nature needs to change. In the current anthropocentric economic system, human beings are considered to be the most central and significant entities in the world. Both posthumanism and the prosumer economy reject this idea. The prosumer economy postulates a way to transform the profit-maximizing consumer economy into one that is based on ecological and social justice. This shared critique indicates a relationality between these two movements. We propose an existence where the prosumer economy is the economic system of a posthumanist world. The combination of these two ideas could provide the philosophical depth of the posthumanist perspective into the practice of the prosumer economy and provide an option for posthumanism to be further actionable.

The discourse surrounding prostitution is increasingly one of sexual commerce, transaction and commercial exchange. The 'sex economy' and the consumer demand for it is often discussed both as a legitimate economic business, in which women have control, and as employment comparable to other forms of low-paid work. So much so, that in some countries it is being seen as a service that should be regulated and given a labour-rights framework. Drawing on extensive and detailed research, Monica O'Connor challenges the suggestion that the sale of women's bodies as commodities can ever be acceptable, and that the male consumer has an acceptable right to buy sexual acts from another person. She disproves the claim that 'sex work' is a lucrative occupation for impoverished women and girls that can be considered for regulation as part of the normal economy.
