traditional economy

Economy based on subsistence agriculture where small family groups or tribes produce nearly all of what they need themselves. There is therefore very little trade, and barter rather than money is used for any trade that does take place. In a traditional economy, people are generally averse to risk, preferring to keep to traditional modes of production and avoiding change.
