nomic activity 
 12 
The work which people do is called economic activity. All economic activities together 
make up the economic system of a town, a city, a country or the world. Such an economic system 
is the sum-total of what people do and what people want. The work people undertake either 
provides what people need or provides the money with which they can buy essential commodities. 
Of course, most people hope to earn enough money to buy commodities and services which are 
non-essential but provide some particular personal satisfaction, like toys for children, visits to the 
cinema.
