An economy is a system of exchange of valuable things. The word "economy" comes from the Greek word οἰκονόμος, meaning "person who manages the house." To better understand how the economy works, it can be broken up into three sections. These are:
- the primary sector: which covers farming, fishing, and mining
- the secondary sector: which covers manufacturing
- the tertiary or service sector: which provides a range of services to people and companies.
