Economy

Economy refers to the system of production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services within a society or geographic area. It encompasses the various institutions, policies, and processes that facilitate the exchange and allocation of resources, reflecting how individuals, businesses, and governments interact in a marketplace. The economy can be analyzed at multiple levels, including local, national, and global, and is influenced by factors such as supply and demand, employment rates, inflation, and fiscal policies. Economies can be categorized into different types, such as traditional, market, command, or mixed economies, based on how decisions are made regarding resource allocation. The study of economics seeks to understand how economies function, the behavior of economic agents, and the impacts of economic policies on societal welfare.
