The History of Economy

5/26/2020

 
I am wondering how the economy system has been evolved and what the reasons why it was invented at the time were. Is it absolutely necessary for the prosperity of human society ? What would be a society like if there is no economic system at all ? Is the economic system more powerful now than it needs to be ? How does the economic system affect politics, business, technological innovation, and so on?
