Economy

Economy refers to the system of production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services within a society or geographic area. It encompasses all activities related to the production of wealth and involves various sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and services. Economies can be categorized as traditional, market, command, or mixed, depending on how decisions are made regarding resource allocation and how economic activities are regulated. The study of economics examines how individuals, businesses, and governments make choices about scarce resources, and it analyzes factors like supply and demand, inflation, unemployment, and overall economic growth. An economy can be local, regional, national, or global, and its health and performance are often measured through indicators like GDP (Gross Domestic Product), employment rates, and consumer confidence.
