Introduction Resources (natural or man-made) available to human being are limited but wants (desires) are not limited and everyone wants to achieve the best; Every person in a society has different types of wants and demands; If A wants a cup of milk at a time then B may wants a piece of cloth at the same time and so on so forth; Management of these wants with in available resources is the art which is called economics; So economics is an art of management of unlimited wants within limited resources. The system in which efforts are made to achieve these targets is called 'Economy';

Economic systems Any economy deals with issue of changing resources into products; The products either perform as mean to produce more products or a satisfactory mean to needs of human being; Three types of experiments in economics are there: Market economy: An economy without almost any control on anything; Planned economy: An economy with some controls put by the government; Mixed economy: This economy is neither a full fledged free market nor it depends on pure planned economy; Under this concept an economy has mixture of freedom and planning; The first model of economy is famous with name of capitalism; The second one is known as socialism; The third one is known as mixed economy;

Businesses: This sector consists of all the business firms engaged in the production and distribution of goods and services (apart from financial services). It concerns all their activities involved with buying factors of production and using them to produce and sell goods and services; Individuals and businesses are interdependent.

Financial institutions are needed for individuals and firms to be able to undertake saving and investment. They perform the function of mobilizing savings for investment; Government: The management of national needs and wants on macro level; It is involved in the satisfaction of collection (community) wants; It obtains the resources to do this through imposing taxes on the other sectors of the economy;
