An economy consists of the realized economic system of a country or other area, the labor, capital and land resources, and the economic agents that socially participate in the production, exchange, distribution, and consumption of goods and services of that area. A given economy is the end result of a process that involves its technological evolution, history and social organization, as well as its geography, natural resource endowment, and ecology, as main factors. These factors give context, content, and set the conditions and parameters in which an economy functions.

Today the range of fields of study exploring, registering and describing the economy or a part of it, include social sciences such as economics, as well as branches of history (economic history) or geography (economic geography). Practical fields directly related to the human activities involving production, distribution, exchange, and consumption of goods and services as a whole, range from engineering to management and business administration to applied science to finance. All kind of professions, occupations, economic agents or economic activities, contribute to the economy. Consumption, saving and investment are core variable components in the economy and determine market equilibrium. There are three main sectors of economic activity: primary, secondary and tertiary.

With the economic crisis, can people finally start to separate necessary things from luxury things?
Q. I notice every weekend I see the parking lots full at all the local plaza's, shopping centers and restaurants. We are all suffering from the economic crisis, but have we taken a minute to separate necessary things from luxury things?
Asked by It's all about the Benjamins - Wed Feb 18 14:47:42 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. This is going to be one of the lessons of the crisis, learn to give up the unnecessary things, and take only what is necessary for our survival. We live in a totally interconnected, global world now. We depend on each other for survival. If we take, we take it from someone else, or we deplete nature. With our present selfish, greedy behavior we slide into deeper and deeper problems all around. We have to understand, that in such a closed integral system we can only survive if we unite, and work together making the well being of the whole our priority. It does not mean we have to live on bread and water, our world can provide us with comfortable living circumstances, provided it is used and distributed the right way. This is the purpose of… [cont.]

What british economic policy caused colonists to burn the Gaspee?
Q. What british economic policy caused colonists to burn the Gaspee? Do you think the colonists were justified in their acts of rebellion, or should they have taken some other course of action for this?
Asked by Richard - Tue Dec 30 17:52:10 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The Gaspee was a British schooner patrolling the Rhode Island Bays when it spied a vessel suspected of smuggling. It gave chase but got stuck and men from colonial boats boarded the Gaspee, set the crew ashore, and burned it to the waterline. The colonists were protesting the Navigation Acts that prevented colonial trade with any nation but England. They were also protesting the custom duties they had to pay on bringing items into the colonies. Because the Gaspee was a royal vessel, the attack upon it was an act of rebellion. The colonists had better luck when they used the boycott of British goods to protest British laws.

What exactly was economic collectivization in the Soviet Union?
Q. Whatever I read about it seems to just go on and on and on without any form of summerization. So does anyone know a simple way of explaining economic collectivization.
Asked by Jack.Andrel - Tue Oct 6 00:39:57 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I take it that you mean the collectivisation of agriculture. Without going into the hardships caused by the policy I'll just explain what they were and how they worked. What this was was the state taking ownership of all the farms in a town or village and managing them as one farm. The state employed farm managers to run them and paid the workers - the former owners of the farms - a wage. Some central facilities were built. like barns, storage buildings for livestock and machinery and a central office. In terms of what they looked like, they remained pretty much the same as they had done before, farmers mostly still worked on the parts that had been theirs and they still used many of the same tools and implements. Machinery was in… [cont.]
