Economy (1983: Doomsday)

Even though it is part of the ***1983: Doomsday*** Timeline, its creator or creators have more work to do before it can be complete. You are welcome to give suggestions at the Talk Page.

An **economy** consists of the economic system of a country or other area, the labor, capital and land resources, and the economic agents that socially participate in the production, exchange, distribution, and consumption of goods and services of that area. A given economy is the end result of a process that involves its technological evolution, history and social organization, as well as its geography, natural resource endowment, and ecology, as main factors. These factors give context, content, and set the conditions and parameters in which an economy functions.

Since Doomsday, the world economy has been in a state of recovery as national infrastructures are rebuilt and world trade is re-established.

## Major Commodities

Since Doomsday  there have been many shifts in the demand and availability of many commodities across the planet.

### Oil

Oil was one of the most important commodities before Doomsday, being used mostly for fuel, but also in the manufacturing of plastics and other consumer goods. With the destruction of most of the major oil consumers on Doomsday, as well as the disruption of the international shipping industry many surviving nations that relied on oil production suffered massive economic collapse and fledgling nations or those who relied on foreign oil were forced to locate their own supplies or find alternates to the substance. In modern day with the greater availability of alternatives as well as a more widespread infrastructure for oil extraction and refining, oil has seen a massive devaluation, which has caused many problems for surviving nations that relied on oil revenues for their survival. Despite this oil remains an important resource, and as more nations rise from the ashes of the old there will likely be an increased demand.
