Features: Economic activities are the basic and primary activities of human society. They begin with humans extracting material resources from nature and gradually evolve towards transforming and adapting to nature, achieving material exchange and harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. Production activities also shift from material production to non-material transformation and harmonious coexistence. Furthermore, production expands from material production to non-material production (including the production of various services and spiritual products), continuously improving the quality of human life and the level of social development. Based on long-term economic practices, humans have developed certain economic perspectives, which gradually evolve into various economic thoughts and theories. Political economy is the long-term product of this process and continues to develop, enrich, and perfect in practice, becoming the foundational discipline in the economic science system.
