An economy (From Greek οίκος – "household" and νęμoμαι – "manage") is an area of the production, distribution, or trade, and consumption of goods and services by different agents in a given geographical location.

Understood in its broadest sense, 'The economy is defined as a social domain that emphasizes the practices, discourses, and material expressions associated with the production, use, and management of resources'.

Economic agents can be individuals, businesses, organizations, or governments.

Economic transactions occur when two parties agree to the value or price of the transacted good or service, commonly expressed in a certain currency.

Monetary transactions only account for a small part of the economic domain.

Any item or verifiable record that fulfills these functions can be considered as money.
