From the Paper:

"The economic function of a society comprises of functions associated with the production and utilization of goods and services. From the most primitive period, the principal activity of planned society has been economic in character. The other constituents of a civilized society i.e. architecture, literature, music et al come to the picture only subsequent to the fulfillment of the material requirements of the society. Our daily activities are fundamentally economic in character. The economic issue appears, as our craving for goods and services outnumber our potential to manufacture those goods and services. The requirement for goods and services stems from human wants. The supply of goods and services is a result of the production process."
