In this economy, community members typically use simple tools to plant and harvest crops. food supplies are supplemented by hunting animals and gathering plant materials. members trade with each other to obtain needed goods, as few people hold currency. little economic growth occurs. what type of economy is being described? a.) a traditional economy b.) a free market economy c.) a mixed-market economy d.) a command economy

The correct answer is - A.)  a traditional economy.

The traditional economy is an economy type where little or no changes appear over prolonged periods of time, and if there are any changes, they are minimal and they do not affect anything in the economy seriously.

The economy that is described is clearly a traditional economy, that has retained its traditional traits, and hasn't been modernizing and evolving as the economies in the rest of the world. It may seem as primitive economy even to most people, though in certain conditions it may actually work properly to a certain level. It has to be taken in consideration that progress in this type of economy is not really a familiar term.
