An economy consists of the 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 examining the economy include social sciences such as economics, sociology (economic sociology), history (economic history) and 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.

How does domestic economy and international trade factor in? In what way does domestic and international trade help the economy? Asked by Becky J - Sun Aug 23 14:15:35 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I have been involved with international trade for over 16 years and study world economics as a hobby so please allow me to share some insight: The U.S. dollar, still the benchmark for world currency, has been declining in value the past several years. A detriment to U.S. consumers and U.S. companies that import products, the weakening dollar benefits some players in the global marketplace. Current economic factors that may be signaling recessionary conditions in the U.S. economy and could undermine confidence of U.S. dollar-based assets include the downturn in housing, turbulence in the equity markets and job woes.

Q. Considering its one of the worlds largest economies in its own merits. Repubs always talk about seceding like it'd have an impact. But what about if this actual large economy left?

Q. Don't they make money either way by commission no matter if their clients are making money or losing?

Well, I will take a stab at this although I am not a stockbroker. I believe they make money when the client makes a trade. If the client sells I believe that is when he makes commission. A lot of people are selling so the stockbrokers are likely making $ for now. I do not know for sure if stockbrokers make money on a flat portfolio that does not trade.
