Economy

Economy refers to the system of production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services within a particular society or geographic area. It encompasses various activities through which resources—such as labor, capital, and land—are allocated and managed to meet the needs and wants of individuals and businesses. Economies can be organized in different ways, including market economies, command economies, and mixed economies, each with its own mechanisms for regulation and coordination. Key concepts associated with the economy include supply and demand, inflation, unemployment, gross domestic product (GDP), and fiscal and monetary policy. The health of an economy is often assessed through indicators such as productivity, trade balance, and income levels, reflecting its overall performance and the well-being of its citizens.
