O artigo analisa o papel dos seres humanos na economia de commodities, da inovação ao desenvolvimento sustentável. A pesquisa concentra-se na exploração do potencial humano, na busca de uma instituição econômica que equilibre crescimento e bem-estar social e na identificação do processo de distribuição e regulação dos recursos humanos na economia de commodities. O artigo utiliza a abordagem da filosofia humanística e da filosofia social, combinada com a análise qualitativa, aplicando os princípios de "causalidade", "necessidade e liberdade", "sujeito e produto" para esclarecer a transição entre os seres humanos e a economia. Ao mesmo tempo, o artigo utiliza o método de síntese de documentos socioeconômicos para apresentar argumentos científicos e práticos. Resultados: O artigo afirma que os seres humanos são o centro da economia de commodities, não apenas uma força produtiva, mas também uma força motriz para o desenvolvimento social; o equilíbrio entre crescimento econômico e desenvolvimento humano contribui para a manutenção de uma economia sustentável. O artigo também esclarece a relação entre pessoas, conhecimento, riqueza e dinheiro em uma economia de mercado. Enfatiza o papel da família, da religião, do Estado e das instituições empresariais na formação das capacidades e necessidades humanas. Conclusão: O desenvolvimento sustentável requer desenvolvimento humano, investimento em educação, ciência e tecnologia, gestão de recursos humanos, juntamente com políticas de gestão para reduzir a desigualdade e garantir um desenvolvimento econômico, social e ambiental equilibrado.
