Abstract

An economic system is the organization that societies, in a particular time and place, have developed to solve common problems regarding the production and consumption of goods and services in order to satisfy their needs. This organization, naturally, gives rise to social relationships that are more or less close and stable. The organization of production and consumption has taken different forms according to the period in history and the geographical location concerned. Gradually, as organizations become stronger and more incisive, the social relationships between the forces of production and consumption stabilize, to create situations in which they become ‘institutionalized’. However, this is always a temporary, relative stability, since social relationships of production and consumption and the organization in which they are expressed change slowly but progressively.
