A model of the household enterprise is examined in the light of significant socio‐economic trends and the uncertainties these produce. The implications of the growth of the household‐enterprise sector of the economy is examined for relationships between consumers and industry. The case is argued for a shift in the emphasis of consumer education from consumer technology to an awareness of alternative futures.
