The economy refers to the system of production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services within a society. It encompasses all economic activities, including how resources are allocated, how wealth is generated and distributed, and how various sectors interact within markets. The economy is often analyzed through different lenses, including microeconomics, which focuses on individual and business behaviors, and macroeconomics, which examines larger-scale economic phenomena such as inflation, unemployment, and national income. Economic systems can vary widely, including capitalism, socialism, and mixed economies, each influencing how resources are managed and how economic agents (consumers, businesses, and governments) operate. The health of an economy is typically assessed through indicators such as GDP (Gross Domestic Product), employment rates, and trade balances. The concept of the economy is crucial for understanding the functioning of society and addressing issues such as poverty, inequality, and sustainable development.
