TRADITIONAL ECONOMY.

In traditional economies, the answers to the questions what, how and for whom to produce are decided by tradition. Traditional economic systems are usually found in the remote areas of the world. In a traditional economy most of the people live in rural areas and engage in agriculture or in fishing and hunting. These basic activities help people to exist. The goods and services in such a system are produced for many years by the same methods. Members of a traditional economy often make their own clothing and tools. If they produce more food than they need, they trade the surplus for goods made by others.

In a traditional economy changes are very slow. Life is stable and predictable, but the standard of living is lower. A traditional economy limits choices for consumers and entrepreneurs are very rarely found in a traditional economy.
