This article discusses the primum vivere life knot. Namely, how different economic organizations have responded to its problem in modern times. However, it does not dismiss completely some more general social and – possibly – philosophical issues that do not belong, strictly speaking, to economics. The social economy contains something of both parts of Hobbes's quote, and an interdisciplinary contribution may be helpful. The dominant approach will remain, though, on the economic side. But the analysis will not be carried out in a strictly economic sense. It will rather incuse a broader social dimension, despite the fact that between economists and sociologists – and social scientists at large – there is no love lost.

Abstract
This article discusses the primum vivere life knot. Namely, how different economic organizations have responded to its problem in modern times. However, it does not dismiss completely some more general social and – possibly – philosophical issues that do not belong, strictly speaking, to economics. The social economy contains something of both parts of Hobbes's quote, and an interdisciplinary contribution may be helpful. The dominant approach will remain, though, on the economic side. But the analysis will not be carried out in a strictly economic sense. It will rather incuse a broader social dimension, despite the fact that between economists and sociologists – and social scientists at large – there is no love lost.
