The study of economy dynamics seeks to understand the change, stability and complexity of economic systems. It examines a range of patterns that warrant investigation that include inhomogeneous growth and growth across societies and regions as well as persistent economic instability that accompanies periods of relative stability, and patterns of temporal and spatial business and financial instability. It is also interested in the ways in which these patterns are correlated to the structural characteristics of economic systems and, more specifically, the nature of the processes by which they change.

In its most basic form an economic system is an arrangement of individuals who exchange products and services to satisfy their needs and desires. While today’s economic activities are more complex than those of the early trades that created modern societies However, they still operate on the same fundamentals. Emile Durkheim noted a correlation between social cohesion and society’s economy, and distinguished “mechanical” and “organic” solidarity that relate to the division of labor. In simpler societies, mechanical solidarity might be a result of common interests, like religion or work. In more advanced societies, it might result from the interdependence that results from individuals who are performing specific tasks. For instance elementary school teachers rely on farmers to supply them with food; doctors rely on carpenters to provide shelter; and there are many more.

The field of economic dynamics is a subfield in system dynamics that applies behavioral techniques to social systems and www.knowindianhistory.com/2023/06/11/economy-dynamics-social-structures focuses on feedbacks. It is also closely linked to complexity science that focuses on non-equilibrium systems and the importance interactions.
