DEFINITIONS
OF “THE ECONOMY” – COMPARATIVE ANALYSE
|
|
The scope of the definition
|
The philosophical coverage
|
|
By
“Wikipedia”
“An economy consists of the
economic system of a country or other area, the labour, 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.”
|
The scope is broad, that, the parameters of the Cobb–Douglas function exists and does important, but partly notes
about economic flows.
|
This definition only describes the mapping of
economic system in general.
|
|
By
“Oxford Dictionary”
“The state of a country or
region in terms of the production and consumption of goods and services and
the supply of money or the careful management of available resource”
|
The scope of the first part is narrow, that does
brief note about flows of goods/services and money.
|
The first part of the definition poorly describes
the mapping of economic system, but the second part approaches from the
philosophical side to economic behaviors.
|
|
By
“UK Office for National Statistics”
“The economy can be viewed as the circular flow of
goods and services from producers to consumers, and the corresponding flow of
labour and capital into the production process. Equivalent to this is a flow
of money for the services provided.”
|
The definition directly explains the circular flow
model only.
|
That’s why the definition only describes the
mapping of economic system from the circular flows. Philosophical approaches
don’t exist.
