<注釋>Managing an economy has at least an etymological justification.The wordeconomy can probably be traced back to the Greek word oikonomos, .one who manages a household,. derived fromoikos, .house,. and nemein, .to manage.. Fromoikonomos was derived oikonomia, which had not only the sense .management of a houseold or family. but also senses such as .thrift,. .direction,. .administration,. .arrangement,. and .public revenue of a state..The first recorded sense of our wordeconomy, found in a work possibly composed in 440, is .the management of economic affairs,. in this case, of a monastery. Economy is later recorded in other senses shared byoikonomia in Greek, including .thrift. and .administration..What is probably our most frequently used current sense, .the economic system of a country or an area,. seems not to have developed until the 9th or 20th century.
管理經濟可以從詞源上得到確認。economy 一詞的來源很可能追溯到希臘文中的 oikonomos 即.管家.， 這又是從oikos 意為.房子.，以及 nemein 意為.管理.兩詞演化而來。 從oikonomos 派生出的 oikonomia 意思不僅有.家庭管理.， 而且有.節約.、.指示.、.行政.、.安排.及.國家歲入.等含義。Economy 這個詞的意思最早記載在約440年出版的一篇作品上，意思是僧院的.經濟事件管理.。 Economy 在此之後記載下來的意思與希臘語的oikonomia 有相似之處， 包括.節約.和.行政.，直到9世紀或20世紀，今天最常用的意思才開始出現，即.國家或地區的經濟體系.
