Most people
work to earn a living, and produce goods and services. Goods are either
agricultural (like maize), or manufactured (like cars). Services are such
things as education, medicine, and commerce. Some people provide goods; some
provide services. Other people provide both goods and services. For example, in
the same garage a man may buy a car or some service which helps him maintain
his car.
The work people do
is called economic activity. All economic activities taken together make up the
economic system of a town, a city, a country or a world. Such an economic
system is the sum-total of what people do and what they want. The work people
do either provides what they need or provides the money with which they can buy
essential commodities. Of course, most people hope to have enough money to buy
commodities and services which are non-essential but which provide some
particular personal satisfaction, such as toys for children, visits to the
cinema and books.
The science of economics is based upon the facts of our
everyday lives. Economists study our everyday lives and the general life of our
communities in order to understand the whole economic system of which we are
part. They try to describe the facts of the economy in which we live, and to
explain how it works. The economist’s methods should of course be strictly
objective and scientific.
We need food, clothes and shelter. We probably would not
go to work if we could satisfy these basic needs without working. But even when
we have satisfied such basic needs, we may still want other other things, such
as the toys, visits to the cinema and books mentioned above. Our lives might be
more enjoyable if we had such things. Human beings undoubtedly have a wide and
very complex range of wants. The science of economics is concerned with all our
needs with desire to have a radio as well as the basic necessity of having
enough food to eat. (Taken form A Rapid Course in English for Students of
Economics by Tom McArthur)
